User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:44.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/44.0 Build ID: 20160210153822 Steps to reproduce: Open settings and view some saved password with I and l in it. Actual results: I and l are barely distinguishable Expected results: Change default font for Firefox settings page to another (not insane) sans-serif font (like Ubuntu or Fira Sans) or even to serif font where I and l can be clearly differed.
I have found the issue - it's Windows 10 default font which has I and l almost identical. Updated proposal: make Firefox not use Windows default font under Windows 10. Maybe it's a good idea to change it for Fira Sans for all versions.
