You may have accidentally zoomed web page(s). Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
- View -> Zoom -> Reset (Ctrl+0/Command+0 (zero))
All tabs are fuzzy except the current one, including the menu bar. It seems to have nothing to do with whether the web page content is zoomed or at 100%. I do not have this problem in any other program.
should have gone to specsavers
Can you attach a screenshot?

- use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
This could be related with the recent switch in Firefox 52+ from Cairo to Skia for canvas/content rendering.
Firefox 52+ has changed from Cairo to Skia for canvas/content rendering.
You can modify these gfx.*.azure.backends prefs on the about:config page to revert to the old font rendering swap the skia,cairo order to cairo,skia or remove the skia and leave cairo.
- gfx.canvas.azure.backends = direct2d1.1,cairo,skia
- gfx.content.azure.backends = direct2d1.1,cairo,skia
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
Once I disable colorful tabs, all is good, screen shot attached - check out upper left hand corner - all is blurred except for current tab
