Quick Fix for Firefox-4 Helvetica Neu Font Issue

If you're seeing strange fonts appearing after upgrading to Firefox-4, here's the quick fix:
  • Go to your profile folder's chrome folder (in Windows XP, e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\your xp username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\default\chrome
  • Open file UserContent.css with a text editor (or create a new empty text file with this name if it doesn't already exist)
  • Add one new line to this file:
    • @font-face { font-family: 'helvetica neue'; src: local('Arial'); }
  • Save file.
  • Restart Firefox.
Enjoy the your Firefox-4 (which is sadly slower and buggier than earlier ones but what can you do?)
