Due to poor eyesight, I have been using the Arial Black font for years with Firefox. On a new Windows 10 laptop (which has Arial Black installed and used by other programs), this font is not showing as an option in customizing fonts in the latest version of Firefox. Can you help? Many thanks

Hmm, I don't see it on Windows 7, either (just Arial). I think that might be because Firefox views Arial Black as an extra-bold variant of Arial rather than a distinct font family of its own.

If you still have access to an older installation of Firefox that you previously set up to use Arial Black, I could suggest how to research the particular settings stored in that Firefox to see whether there is a way to copy them over.

Otherwise, an add-on or custom style rule might be able to modify the pages.

Thanks very much for your reply jscher2000. Didn't expect a reply so soon!

Both laptops (one running Windows 7 and the other Windows 10) are running the latest version of Firefox (currently 54.0.1 32-bit). The Firefox font customiser on the win7 laptop shows many fonts like Arial Black not shown on the Win10 laptop (and some vice versa). I'm trying to find a suitable dark font to use on the Win10 but alternatives like "Elephant" wouldn't be too easy on the eyes! I might see if can find and add in a new font somehow.

Not sure how to go down the "add-on or custom style rule" route? I'n not really a web expert thought it would be great if there were a registry entry or script file I could edit to fix the problem.

. If I'd known about all the hassle in moving to Windows 10 for people with poor eyesight (microsoft is no help either) I might have stayed with Windows 7).

Thanks again for your help

On Windows Firefox may not distinguish between the various fonts that belong to specific font-family and treat them as one font family. A specific variant is chosen based upon what font style and variant and weight rules are specified via the CSS properties.

E.g.: Arial Black would be: font-weight: 900; Arial Narrow would be: font-stretch: condensed;
