Hello there,

Few days ago my firefox started to show messed up text on all random sites. Not all text is messed up, and i don't know how to fix it.

Here is screenshot: http://www.dodaj.rs/f/2g/jX/wcZwTze/mess.png

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Try to set the gfx.content.azure.enabled pref to false or if this didn't help disable Direct2D by setting the gfx.direct2d.disabled pref to true on the about:config page and leave hardware acceleration otherwise enabled.

This could be due to your graphic settings and graphics card. Please check your settings and check the manufacturer for updates to the graphics driver.

Thanks for your quick answer.

I forgot to mention that this is happening only in firefox. If im browsing with opera or IE everything looks great, as well as if i read some text document from word or smth...

I'll check for updates for graphic driver as you suggested, but i don't belive that it's the problem here.

Regards.

Thanks!

Looks like the first suggestion to turn off acceleration helped! :)

Thanks once again! ;)

DISTORTED TEXT * * * * * I have ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series, no updated driver available - Turning off Hardware Acceleration made no improvement. Problem began with Firefox 19.0.2 update! Does anyone know what the 'gfx.content.azure' config setting actually controls? and what results are to be expected?
