Chosen solution

Solved, there is an other font folder: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts

Log in in safe mode with another admin account and delete the fonts in that folder. restart pc, login and everything works fine. Problem fonts in my case where Arial.

Takes me 3 working days to find out.

You can check in the Font tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font is actually used for selected because Firefox might be using a different font than specified by the website.


Could be related to the removal of Cairo (D2D) for rendering.

You are a god and a saint. Thank you for posting your solution rather quickly and not just leaving it like so many other dead topics on this matter.

This solved my same issue and helped me when I was pulling out my hair trying to do web dev stuff and it looked different on two different browsers. Thank You!
