I just installed firefox on a computer using win 10, and for whatever reasons teh fonts are all messed up, some show as intended, others dont.

I have tried various fixes on here like changing the performance settings, sandbox security, refresh and fonts too.

None of these worked, see image attached showing what i have, Default font was Times New Roman, changed it to Arial,Verdana and calibri, none made a difference.

Some help would be appreciated.

It looks that you get a monospace in some cases. This could be a problem with Helvetica or Arial fonts.

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the builtin Inspector with this element selected.

You can check in the Rules tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font-family is used for selected text. You can check in the Font tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font is actually used because Firefox might be using a different font than specified by the website.

Thank, so I've looked at that and im a little unclear as to what im supposed to do?

Have already changed the fonts in options to a different font but the issue persists?
