How to stop Firefox from asking to use "uninstalled" fonts that are installed.
Firefox 3.6 and now 4beta, Mac PowerbookPro running OS 10.6.4. After each new computer boot, starting Firefox causes a series of dialogs to appear indicating that Firefox.app wants to use the <font> font. It indicates each Font installed on my system is not installed and asks me if I want to allow or Do not allow the use of the font. I have checked "do not ask again" but it comes up the next time I reboot my computer and start Firefox. </font>

Thanks so much!!!! I moved all copies of my fonts from User/Library/Fonts folder to Library/Fonts, used FontBook.app to enable them and get rid of duplicates and now am again able to use Firefox without that annoying series of pop-up alerts. Mark me down as an appreciative customer!
I have an idea! Get Google Chrome! Or anything else for that matter!
