It's a Linux thing. Firefox on my box has a different font. Probably all you'd need to do is change the defualt font of GNOME (or KDE).

I'm not too fond of the way they work now TBH, but I don't mind using it. I just don't see what was wrong with one close button for the current tab... I can see 6 close buttons for tabs right now, why do I need 6 close buttons?! (if I wanna close, say, 4 of them, it'd be faster than right clicking and clicking "close tab", but I don't think that's worth the effort by the dev's... Plus, I would've thought one button would be more usable. And in e.g. the GIMP, do they have a delete button for every layer? No, you select the layer, then you click the delete button.... /me will have to search for a bugzilla entry on this tab decision..)

It uses a monospaced font there, so it must be the website chosing the font...

I don't know, all I know is the text is far easier to when Firefox is run under Windows than Linux.

Must be to do with the available fonts.
Cool thing about Firefox is that it's basically a very fucking big website - written in XUL and using Javascript. Gecko renders it all. That's such a brilliant idea IMO. Kinda like when programs were just holes in cards, and then someone had the idea to store them in memory instead - because they're data.
I fixed my first Mozilla bug last night!
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262800 (I would be Declan Naughton there)
In FF 1.5 if you go to Help > About, and then wait about 5 seconds before clicking the credits button, you would see the credits had already started crawling but are quickly reset again. On the CVS version I'm using, they aren't even reset, so you'd miss the beginning of them (probably due to changes in the gecko end of things).
So anyhow, it looked like an easy thing to fix. Whenever you go to Help > About, you're looking at chrome://browser/content/aboutDialog.xul (load it up in FF if you like). There's Javascript hooked into that page, chrome://browser/content/aboutDialog.js. It sets chrome://browser/content/credits.xhtml (the credits page) to be loaded in an iframe when the credits button is clicked. However, chrome://browser/content/credits.xhtml will always be running from the beginning because it's in the XUL. This (very simple) patch fixes that.
