Certain website headings, titles & captchas appear in a weird character that obviously I cannot read. It happens to me on the with the captcha on tinypic.com also psd.tutsplus.com headings.

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
Thank you for the help. I asked a forum but they got all pissy and asked me to go to bugzilla for help or whatever the name is which was no help.
I uninstalled the font and got a new one to replace it. Works great now!
You're welcome
