Select: Advanced > "General" Tab > "Use hardware acceleration when available" with also disable/enable directToWrite

In Firefox, by default it is set to false in about:config: gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled is

And gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading is set to true

Where are the Advanced settings located from your screenshot?

Whether active or inactive "Use hardware acceleration when available" The problem still exists when gfx.direct2d.disabled set to "true". the advaced config located from the addon called "gui:config"
