Hello,

I'm using Firefox 29.0.1 and I'm having a problem with words displaying incorrectly on Facebook.

It's a strange problem with the fonts. As you can see in the screenshot, all the text characters should have the same style and font, but one of words is displaying incorrectly. I zoomed in to that word and you can see it's in bold??? In large paragraphs, there will be words like that all over the place and it's annoying... I tried reinstall FF, update my fonts, play with font settings in FF, but no luck...

It is possible that Firefox is using as font that doesn't include a glyph for those characters

You can right-click that text on a web page and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
You can check the font in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector.

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