How to Change the Fonts in Firefox

The Firefox Web browser includes a variety of features to customize the browsing experience. Some Web pages encode specific fonts the page is designed to use, other pages leave it up to the browser to decide what font to use for regular text, bold text, italic text and other effects. Firefox lets you change the settings for both types of pages. It lets you specify a default set of fonts for use and decide if you want to use the fonts specified by a webpage.
