Distorted text

Hi there,

Over the past couple of weeks, Firefox (83.0 64 bit) has started displaying distorted text. It will come up on a site and the only way to get it back to normal is to highlight the text. I have attached an image of the issue.

Thanks!

Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar. Across from fonts and colors, press the Advanced button. On the bottom, turn on Allow Web Sites To Choose Their Own.

That setting was already enabled. Turning it off and on again does not fix the problem.
