Underneath this alert it says: "This font is not installed. Allow Firefox.app to use this font?"

How can it use this font when it is not installed? Why does it have to keep asking me no matter how many times I push Allow or Don't Allow?

Thanks, cor-el. I've opened Firefox a few times now and have not seen that annoying message. :-)
