Could this be the same as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1071657 ?

If so, this is solved via ClearType. Older solutions mention disabling hardware acceleration, toggling gfx.content.azure.enabled and gfx.direct2d.disabled (with HW acceleration otherwise on), and setting layout.paint_rects_separately to true.

PS. Also note the "gfx.downloadable_fonts.woff2.enabled = false" suggestion in the first question.

Also based on added images, everything is fine in Chrome, why ? !

Okay, will have to investigate further.

Short answer for different results on different browsers: they use different engines.
