After upgrading to 17.0.1 the text became blurred. In other programs and browsers - everything appears normal. I tried this: Anti-Aliasing Tuner https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/anti-aliasing-tuner/ Installation and configuration help for the text on the pages. But the menu and address bar text remained blurred. What has changed in the new version and how to disable blur? Thank you.

Ok, More information about solving the problem for me. 1) In the address bar type: about:config 2) Find the option "gfx.content.azure.enabled" and set it to "false" 3) Reload the browser. I do not know what else is affected, but the problem is solved with the text. Official BUG Thread https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=814101 Waiting for a solution...

Can you check in safe mode ?, in Safe Mode window select "Start in Safe Mode" and see if this happen again, if not then try to turn off hardware acceleration in normal mode of course.

thanks

DISTORTED TEXT * * * * * I have ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series, no updated driver available - Turning off Hardware Acceleration made no improvement. Problem began with Firefox 19.0.2 update! Does anyone know what the 'gfx.content.azure' config setting actually controls? and what results are to be expected?
