When I open firefox it is normal but as I am surfing the text seems to get a tighter font and a little smaller. If I reopen firefox it is normal again. Once a window or tab is affected all future displays are affected. If I use the back arrow on an affected page all the pages I go back through are affected. It is not a zoom issue because only the body text is affected and if I change the zoom I can not correct the problem. I have a picture of both a normal and affected window on the same web page but I am not sure how to include it this message

See if you can identify to which font Firefox is changing.

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

The fonts Verdana and Verdana Bold are being changed to Arial narrow and Arial narrow bold. This change will also happen when I am running firefox in safe mode.

You can try enabling the option Allow pages to choose their own fonts instead of my selection above in Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Content > Advanced (under Fonts & Colors), if it is not selected. You can also try to change the substituted fonts in the Serif and Sans-serif columns. Options > Content

To check if any of the fonts are missing in the system, type fonts in the Windows Run box (Windows key + R) and enter. This opens the OS fonts folder which contains all the installed fonts.

The font is changing from Verdana to Arial narrow only in firefox. The fount is still useable by word even after it gets changed in firefox. I currently allow web pages to choose there fonts. If I do not allow the website to choose the font some of the pages I visit look wrong.
