Will not hold a font - I have to clear history and then reboot computer then it's fine for a about an hour then changes to a Symbol font - goes from Times to Times Symbol. see screen shot below .

Yes I have gone into preferences and changed the font to Helvetica now but still changes to times symbols after about an hour - never had this problem before downloading 88.0.1 (64-bit)

Hello there,

There is an article by Mozilla on how to fix preferences that won't save, maybe that will help you out

Here's the link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-fix-preferences-wont-save

Hope it helps.
