I am not a fan of the default font settings of Firefox on Linux. I much prefer the way Firefox on Windows displays web pages. And since I do a lot of work designing blogs and websites, I would much rather have Firefox display web pages the same way, whether I’m using Windows or Linux.

Sure, you’ll see web pages just fine with these settings, but I would much rather have pages look just like they do while using Firefox on Windows.
If you ever check out the default font settings for Firefox on a Windows machine, you’ll see that the settings are different from what is pictured above. If you want Firefox to behave more like it was on Windows, apply these settings:
By using these settings, Firefox on Linux will now render pages almost identical to how Firefox works on Windows.
