Allow access to locally installed fonts for specific website
Hallo, with the latest update of Firefox some websites broke where I use locally installed fonts. They are no longer accessible.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1188968 I have found this support page, and while this is a temporary solution, I find it weird that i have to lessen my security settings to get my fonts back. Is there a way to enable local fonts globally without changing the overall security settings or can i just enable local fonts for 1 website?

You can't change how a website looks because of site security. What sites are we talking about?
Fonts are usually broken if these font are installed in a custom location, either by an application or by a font manager. You would have to move the fonts to the OS Fonts folder or another folder that isn't blocked by the sandbox.

I have installed those fonts with the tool that comes with windows. As far as I am aware it just copies the fonts to the normal font folder.

Look it is really easy. I have font XYZ on my system. If a website sets text to use font XYZ, I expect it to use XYZ. Font XYZ works in latest Chrome, any other program in Windows and has worked with Firefox in the past. However, over the course of the last 3 weeks all those fonts broke with latest Firefox.
Hi sirati97, the other thread refers to a problem with web fonts when Firefox is aware of a local copy but won't use it. Is that your situation as well, the problem site expects Firefox to download a web font but you have it installed locally already?
By the way, Firefox 66 was released yesterday, so when you feel like updating, please test in that version.
