If tabloid news wins, The Sun's typeface is Tempo Heavy Condensed... I tell you this because it took me ages to find a free download.
I WILL NOT PAY FOR FUCKING LETTERS.

# RIGHT IN THE FACE!
I dunno, it's a personal bugbear of mine, paying for fonts.
Every time I saw 'Download this font for $28.50!' I just kept shouting at the screen "They're letters. LETTERS!"

# but if you don't give the font industry representatives who don't pay font makers any money any money

# You found a free one?
I resorted to screencapping loads of 'sample text' boxes on the purchase page and cobbling them together in Photoshop :(

# If you want to edit something online, all you have to do is go to the page you want, let it load,copy and paste this into your address bar.
javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0

Making sure you obliterate the orignal address, when pasted in hit go, and then you can just edit, type or resize what you want to, like the screen capture below ;-)

# Works for me on 3.6.6
You are replacing the whole URL with this I take it, not just adding it after?
The site looks exactly the same once its done but you can select text and overtype it straight into the page

# Works for me in both IE and Firefox.
Just remember...
Let the page load completelty,
Remove everything from the address bar,
Paste what I posted into the address bar,
And finally remeber to press the (go to) button.

# Someone posted it here years and years ago ;-)
Can't for the life of me remember who, they said it only worked on the BBC site I think, But I'v not found a site it doesn't work on....

Another way to identify fonts, is to copy the section you want, and then paste it into word pad or photoshop (as a text layer) and it changes to to font being pasted, the downside of this method is that you have to have the font actually installed on your computer..
