The default font, at least on my Laptop, is all in caps and the Font is Algerian. It makes it hard to read. I would like to change it to a Font like Arial or Times roman if possible.

Yes, you can change default fonts here:

orange Firefox button or Tools menu > Options > Content tab

The center drop-down lets you set the default font and size. The Advanced button lets you set the default for particular font styles. "Serif", "Times New Roman", "Arial" and "Courier New" are good choices for Windows users.

Does that work? If a particular site is a problem, you could post the URL for others to check out.

Unfortunately, this did not help, I had already tried this before I received the reply. The text in the Menu Bar, the Tabs, the Address is where I have the Algerian font, all other areas, are in Arial or Tahoma. Please check image

PLEASE HELP Regards Adam

Oh, it's in the theme. Very strange. Try this add-on:

Theme Font & Size Changer :: Add-ons for Firefox

I tried this option, but I get a message that it is not compatible with Firefox 5. Any other suggestions please

Whoops, you need to go to the "All Versions" page to get the latest:
