Since 59.0 there are rendering issues which makes the product unusable Generally, pages opens fine. Randomly, after a while, going back to an already open tab, the page will be almost blank. Moving the mouse will 'repaint' the disappeared images/text, by hovering over it

Windows7, AMD Radeon HD 5670 latest drivers tried both with and without hw acceleration in firefox performance options, doesnt fix. Previous quantum version was fine

so far it appears to be an issue that only affects users who have turned off cleartype font rendering within their windows settings. so a workaround for the moment would either be to turn cleartype back on or disabling hardware acceleration in firefox: Firefox's performance settings

Thanks for feedback Turning on cleartype is not an option for me. Is off for a reason. Contrary to what I initially said, disabling hardware acceleration in firefox actually FIXES the problem.

No need to say I'd like to use ha, as I assume makes rendering faster, but for the time being the product is at least back to usable
