Firefox will load a webpage in a font that is very difficult to read, and i can't find how to change this. I then close the page in FF, and open it in Chrome and ie, no problem. But I like FF best! help, please.

Such an issue is usually caused by a missing or corrupted font that Firefox replaces by another font, in your case an italic font.
You will have to reinstall that font.
