Characters dissapearing, missing, garbled only in Firefox
Characters dissapearing, missing, garbled only in Firefox. Seems to be ok in troubleshooting mode. This only happens in Firefox so it appears to be isolated. As you hover over links is when it happens the most. I have the latest version installed and was just loaded on a new system.

You can check for issues with (corrupted) fonts.
You can right-click and select "Inspect" to open the built-in Inspector with this element selected.

You can check in the Rules tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font-family is used for selected text. You can check in the Fonts tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font is actually used because Firefox might be using a different font than specified by the website. If the Fonts tab is hidden, click the down arrow at the right end.
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Settings -> General -> Performance
remove checkmark: [ ] "Use recommended performance settings"
remove checkmark: [ ] "Use hardware acceleration when available" - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings
Close and restart Firefox after modifying the setting to apply changes.
You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
