Hi, Whenever I type a URL it is plainly readable. But as soon as the browser arrives on the wanted page, it becomes unreadable, blurry, it looks like I've been drinking a lot too mucho :) . However, when I click inside the field it becomes readable again. Is this a 'normal' behaviour, or is it a 'feature' ? FYI : all other text (bookmarks, buttons, etc.. ) remain readable as it should.

Chosen solution

You can set the pref browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled to false on the about:config page to disable the highlighting of the domain and see the full URL more clearly.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
  • Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
  • Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Restart firefox in safemode and duplicate the steps that create the problem to see if issue is reproduced.

Safe Mode disables all add-dons and extensions allowing isolation of the problem. One by one enable each until problem occurs again
