My gmail's read messages are still bold only in firefox browser installed in my home computer. I don't have this problem for other mail servers (like yahoo) in firefox and other browsers (like Chrome) . Also in my office computer, I open gmail in firefox and I don't have problem. I mean that I can change browser, mail server, computer and I can't see this problem. It only happens in home computer, gmail server, firefox browser. I change everything in firefox and gmail but can't solve this problem. My OS is windows 8.1, firefox is version 47.0 and up to date. I

Thank you
