I have a visual problem and cannot see normal fonts. In Firefox 3.6 there was a Arial Black, which was excellent. Firefox 5 does not have Arial Black. How can I add this font or any new fon t to Firefox 5?

No problems here with Arial Black in Firefox 5.0.1

Be aware that the font list that you see in Firefox/Tools > Options > Content has more than one section and the Arial black font may be located in another section.

You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

I have looked at ALL the fonts in all the different sections. Most of the other sections are not for English. In any case I could not find Arial Black or any other BOLD font anywhere. It is a pity but I will have to uninstall Firefox 5 and rfeinstall Firefox 3.6 again unless a solution is found. In any case I was looking for a method to install a new personal font. Is there a method to do so?

You can try this test page to see if there is another font that you can use.
