I am using FF 16.0.2 with all the default settings. When I go to certain websites, it displays with non-readable characters, almost like it isn't recognizing the page encoding. I checked and my encoding settings are set to Unicode (UTF-8). Screenshots of what I see are at: http://davidpetersen.smugmug.com/Computers/FF-Support/26331201_Bx6tqM

There are a number of websites that don't display properly but I have included three in the screenshots:

These sites display fine in other browsers. Thanks in advance. Dave Petersen

Sounds that you have a problem with a corrupted font.
That can be a Helvetica or Arial font: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif,Arial;

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
