Strange issue with unwanted small-caps in Firefox

Ok off the bat I appreciate this is a weird one but just throwing it out there as I'm out of clues.

Almost got sign off from a client when they brought it to my attention the navigation on the site was messing up when resizing in the browser.

It only occurred to me after they sent me a screen shot what was happening, take a look:

My browser (Firefox v29)

screenshot one

His browser (Firefox v29) screenshot two

For some reason he is seeing something rendering with font-varient:small-caps; which is not even set in my css. I've even tried setting font-varient: normal; just in case.

Has anyone else come across this? It's really bugging me out because I can't possibly recreate the problem in order to fix it.

Thanks

Ask your client to clear the browser's cache and history and reload the page with Ctrl + R key combination.

It seems to be an CSS style cache problem, the rule for the font in his case is text-transform:capitalize and in your case is font-variant:normal.

Also make sure that your client do not use custom CSS style in Firefox, which overrides the page's one. Some browser plug-ins allow such custom CSS style overwrite, for better accessibility.

Maybe it's related to default browser settings - he might change it manually in Firefox settings or maybe some accessibillity software did it.
