I have installed a new Century Link Modem/Router...Firefox is loading fast, but some sentences & groupings of words are appearing washed out, blurry, unclear
When reading web pages...many lines are unclear, not sharp...they are appearing washed out. We just replaced our older Century Link modem/router with their newer version [PK5001A]. When I run the cursor over the bad looking type...it usually sharpens up, though the effect created is very woozy feeling to your eyes. Why is this flaky looking type occurring and what can we do about it?

Is the problem with some web sites? Most? All?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the <Alt> or <F10> key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;
Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences
Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration. Then restart.

It was a problem in any window I opened. So far the Safe Mode, restart with add-ons disabled has seemed to clear up the flakey lines and washed out look...Thanks Fred....Tim
The issue is being caused by one of your add-ons. Now to find it. Open your add-ons manager. <Control><Shift> A On the left side of the page, select Extensions. Pick a few and press the Disable button. Close Firefox, and restart. If the problem is still there, disable some more. Once the problem is gone, re-enable one at a time until the problem returns. Once you have found it, disable it and re-enable the rest. Post the name here so others will know what to look for,
Good Hunting.
