Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[palmonezire31fanatic]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8

I tried this with a squeaky clean profile before reporting, Checking the option alow pages to choose their own fonts/etc in 'prefs - content - advanced' breaks pages as an example u can try swagbucks.com home page and scroll down right and find From The blog and The twitter feed tabs.

I was wondring why pages were broke, off, and frames/out of place flash boxes/etc were missing, and finally found out this was a problem. This happens no matter what font is used nor what size is set.

Screenshots Before Checked and After Checked (on the profile I mainly use):
Checked: http://img69.imageshack.us/f/checked.png/
Un-checked: http://img38.imageshack.us/f/66391378.png/


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go into Preferences - Content - Advanced
2. Un-Check Allow pages to choose their own fonts instead of the the ones above
3. Refresh or reload url page
Actual Results:  
Things on sites get mis-placed  incl. flash items/etc. Fonts on page don't look right and are all out of whack on differing pages/etc.


Well when changing it off and on it can make a script stop responding. :) not an severe issue but just to throw it out there.

Hello! I have tried to reproduce the issue with firefox 96.0a1(2021-11-24), 94.0.1 and 95.0b11 on Ubuntu 20, unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the issue with the STR provided in the description.

Marking this issue as RESOLVED->WORKSFORME since it's not reproducible anymore and it looks like no work has been done in the past years. If this issue is still valid please feel free to reopen this issue or file another one.

Thank you!
