Does anyone know how to make the font in Firefox similar to Chrome? I've reinstalled couple of times. Seems the font is too thick and bold compared to Chrome. Screenshots attached - Chrome on left and Firefox on right

Hi

I think that this support article should help:

Does Google Chrome use the same font as Firefox ?

You can right-click and select "Inspect" to open the built-in 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 Fonts 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.
