Firefox Quantum on Debian stretch (install via snap) font rendering problems
Hi,
I install firefox «Quantum» 60.0.2 (64bits) on Debian GNU/Linux Stretch via **snap**, follow this (https://www.linuxbabe.com/debian/install-firefox-quantum-debian-9-stretch) and I have big font rendering problems with this version of Firefox. Here (https://framapic.org/XdjX6M2efc3e/d8awwxnO2M8w.png) a screen cap of Jupyter Notebook header with Firefox Quantum and here (https://framapic.org/bIXl19w1UBMZ/lihSlDCCP0IS.png) a screen cap of the same page with Firefox ESR. I try all solutions I could find :
- add a `.fonts.conf` like this (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/226831/how-can-i-improve-the-font-rendering-in-firefox);
- change (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/425793/how-to-fix-awful-font-rendering-in-firefox-55-on-debian-buster-testing) `gfx.canvas.azure.backends` and `gfx.content.azure.backends` from `skia` to `cairo` first, and to `direct2d1.1,cairo,skia` finally;
- try to deactivate graphic acceleration;
- set the same font as default (`serif` 16, `serif`, `sans-serif`, `monospace` 12).
But nothing works ! Perhaps I miss something but I couldn't find anything else. Could someone help me with this issue ?

Hi, thank's for your reply. In fact, I have already try another way to install firefox quatum on stretch : - download version 61 direct from mozilla repo - remove version 60.0.2 installed from snap - install firefox dir in /opt - create a firefox-quantum.desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ in order to declare this new application - make a link : > ln -sf /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox-quantum
I have no more font rendering problem with this method.

HI version 61 was released today, please install it to try and fix your issues.
The above needs to be condensed a little as I find it a little all over the place for a non Linux person trying to help since no one else has for 18 hrs.
I do not know where you got your version from but try something different as that maybe the issue. Please see if you can use this version as I know we support Snap :
