It is so light that I can hardly read it. Some letters are dark.

Hi Alfast,

Does this problem occur on only some websites, or all websites?

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.

NoSquint {web link} NoSquint allows you to adjust the text-only and full-page (both text and images) zoom levels as well as color settings both globally (for all sites) and per site.
