    FireFox open file display has corrupted fonts.

    When I use the File --> Open File menu command in FireFox to open a local file the dialog fonts look like a blender was used on them. I do not knew exactly when this feature was broken, but it had to be a recent update.

    Here is the fix I found on the Webb:
    Code:
    sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf
    sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-hinting-full.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/

    Well, had a kernel update, along with a bunch of other files and wouldn't you know it, the problem came back. So, I linked 10-hinting-slight.conf back into /etc/fonts/conf.d/, closed and opened FF, and things work right again.
