Whenever my Firefox 2 Beta 1 updated to Beta 2, my fonts got all screwed up. I've tried everything from removing firefox completely from my computer and re-installing but it must keep finding some hidden settings somewhere.

Anything that was verdana 10pt is now verdana 8 or smaller.

Help!!

Did you try enlarging the overall font size? That's the only thing I can think of. Hold the CTRL key, and use the mouse wheel to decrease/increase the font size. Maybe it was set that way in the previous version, but the updater didn't remember that attribute

Yeah thats an annoying "Feature" that firefox and internet explorer copied from Opera and failed badly with it...should look at Opera...see how its done properly

Ok, I figured it out! What happens is that a profile is created in C:\Documents and Settings\YOU\Application Data\Mozilla and is in a folder called "yr5fg32g5.default" (random string.default) and I guess some how my profile got corrupt. So I logged into my known good profile and copied it and replaced my corrupted one. Other than a few missing bookmarks (I recently backed them up so I can replace the 4 or so I'm missing.

@mark420: I did download Opera as a replacement if I couldn't get Firefox back to normal. My 2 seconds experience with it was HORRIBLE. I don't know how people like that browser.

I ahve never ever heard of this kind of a problem.

Maybe you should tell Mozilla, because it is a Beta version, and is this font prooblem with the actual browser, or has it changed your computer settings?

You are right, since this might be the browser problem. If the updater doesn't deal with the old profiles properly, it can cause a lot of negative opinions on Firefox! Of course, they (the reviewers) would be wrong, but how can an Internet Explorer user know Support Firefox
