The forums fonts have suddenly changed today to something practically unreadable when I use Firefox v7.0.1. The site was okay this morning, but suddenly altered around 8am.
I'm now using IE 8 and the fonts are 'normal' but the site is taking ages to load.
I'm not having problems on any other websites.

What do you mean by "practically unreadable"? Too small? If so, you may have inadvertently changed the zoom level, which would be site-specific. If so, try pressing Ctrl + 0 (zero) to reset it.

I have problem with Firefox. Site(forum) is loading slow. Refreshing also is slow. And this is since some time now. I am with Firefox 8 now. But , I think i have this problem before too. With IE 8, I have no problem.

Try clearing your cookies for the site and creating new ones (Options > Privacy > Remove individual cookies). Delete the entire folder. If that doesn't fix the slow loading, try restarting Firefox in Firefox Safe Mode (Help > Restart with add-ons disabled). If it works correctly in safe mode, then it's a problem with one of your extensions. If it's still slow, then you may need to create a new Firefox profile - especially if your current one dates from before Firefox 4.

Thanks for that I had been wrestling with the same problem for some time since the last crash.
