Only google.com has strange font

more options

When I did a search on Google this morning (after Firefox updated), it looks odd. The font is different and hard to read.

Google is the ONLY page that is like this. Gmail, my calendar, etc. are normal.

I opened it in Microsoft Edge just to see how it looked and it was normal so it appears to be a Firefox issue.

Hmm, normally on Windows Google search results are rendered in Arial. I don't know what font that is in your screenshot. However, one way to research that is through the Page Inspector tool: right-click some result text (to avoid possible interactions, not a link) and choose Inspect Element.

Firefox should open the Developer Tools panel, usually in the lower part of the tab. On the left side will be an HTML "tree" diagram, and on the right side, one or two panels with information about the element you right-clicked. On the right side, find the little Fonts heading and click that to see what font Firefox is really using. I'm attaching an example.

Well this is really odd, I opened up my laptop today and the font is back to normal. So strange.

Thank you for this advice though, I may find this useful in the future or if I run across this problem again!
