Firefox has about:config prefs to block web content from using fonts other than their OS's default system fonts.

The pref names and their possible values:

  # Visibility level of font families available to CSS font-matching:
  #   1 - only base system fonts
  #   2 - also fonts from optional language packs
  #   3 - also user-installed fonts
  layout.css.font-visibility.standard
  layout.css.font-visibility.trackingprotection
  layout.css.font-visibility.resistFingerprinting

Here's the Firefox bug about enabling these prefs, probably in Tracking Protection Strict mode to start: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1736005




Thank you for the link. I actually was wondering if there is a list of about:config properties and it seems that most of them are described in that YAML file.

Switched all settings to 1.
