Hi, I have the same problem as here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1223279 on Debian testing and I'd prefer to keep FF installed via snap. It seems to come down to FF not being able to read the fontconfig files, thus not rendering the Helvetica font correctly. Does someone know how to fix this?

Hi, are you doing Sync ? If so are you logged into the account when you exit ? Have you tried disabling all Extensions ? (would net to do 2 shut downs for disable, one to turn them off out of memory and 1 to test).

What security are you running ?

Hi, thanks for the answer. I am using sync. I've been logged in at all times since I installed FF. I logged out, disabled all extensions and restarted, unfortunately still the same problem.

What do you mean what security?
