How can I turn off the variable width font when writing a message?

I have set up my email message file to use Arial 14 font. When starting a message (either original or reply) it defaults to this font. However, if at any time I move the curser with the mouse, mouse pad, the end key or an arrow key to a location to the right or below the text already typed, it automatically changes to the "variable width" font.

This requires me to manually change the font back to Arial, or backspace back to the last text typed with Arial Very, very annoying.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.

If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support. http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/support/
