This "problem" of mine was hard to explain in the title, and it's kinda unusual

one day I opened up Firefox, went to Facebook.com, and noticed that the font was changed into one that I had not seen before. I thought it was Firefox being weird, but the same thing happened in Internet Explorer as well. Another site I noticed that had this problem was last.fm, so it's not JUST Facebook. I have NOT played with font settings in either browser or on my computer at all, nor did I add or delete any fonts. Does anyone know how this happened, and also how to fix it?

Does changed fonts really bother you that much?

There's nothing wrong with your PC. Let it be.

Are you sure it changed font or font size?

Press ALT and 0 (the number) inside Firefox and see if it changes anything (alternatively ALT and '+' OR ALT and '-').

I think font options are in ALT and O (the letter) under Content.

No there's nothing wrong with you wanting to know, but I told you. There is NOTHING wrong.

I think what SONEE DELITE is trying to say is that each site could specify its own font to be used and unless you want every single site to show one particular font (typically for people who have trouble reading certain font type). Or for sites that don't specify a font the browser default will be used. In your case, maybe it's a site that specified another font?

If anything, you can easily change the font to your desired size. You may have just accidentally pressed a shortcut key [Ctrl & -/+ key] It's no biggie.
