My font totally changed after the last Firefox update. It is a little smaller, less bold and very much less clear. Please tell me how to fix this.
The default font used on websites like Facebook, Craigslist, Google etc. has now become much worse since the last update. It is much less clear, it almost looks choppy and transparent. As if part of the letters are missing. Less bold and just a tad smaller as well. I would like to go back to the way the font used to look like, the way it does in Internet Explorer and Chrome.

hi miked91, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available.

one option may be to roll-back this particular update for now until there is a fix by microsoft or you could also look if there is a graphics driver update available on the website of the vendor (intel/amd/nvidia) which might also resolve this problem in some cases.

That worked philipp. Thanks!!
The only problem I'm having now is that every day or so, Microsoft relaunches that update and then I have to go through the steps to remove it again. Is there any way I can permanently remove this update?
hi again, in the meantime microsoft has released a follow-up fix for the problem that you will have to install manually: http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/3037639
