FireFox font is unreadable and thin
Certain fonts are displayed not as what I set them to in Firefox's settings.
At first, I thought it was a windows OS font related issue- it's not.
I've followed everything here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1323130 (The answer support link is inaccessible. But following the answer did not fix my issue.)
Also looked to see if any of my add-ons are affecting it. I've disabled them on the sites (in the screenshot) but the fonts are still displayed as attached. Checked to see if the add-on uBLOCK is disabling remote fonts, that feature is not checked so that's not the issue.
Please help, thank you.

Additional information:
- I do not use Helvetica nor am using Roboto, I am currently using Inter font
- Attempted answer https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1359312 , did not work
- I've disabled every theme, add-on, and extension (except the firefox necessary codec one) and still have the issue
- Attempted OP's https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/8jvdiq/light_fonts_are_rendered_too_thinly_they_are/ fix, did not work
- I have clear type on and adjusted on Windows 11 Pro
I cannot seem to run the font flash/java program because it is not supported and leads me to a dead adobe link

I'm on Windows 11 PRO and attempted to do it:
gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.gamma set to my gamma data 2200
did not do anything
