By default, Firefox will attempt to use your graphics card processor to improve font rendering. But, due to incompatibility with some graphic card driver software, this can look worse than a plainer rendering. To see whether this is the problem, you can turn off this feature.
That may require changes to one or both of these settings.
(1) General hardware acceleration setting
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
That takes effect the next time you exit and restart Firefox.
(2) Azure setting
(a) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(b) In the search box above the list, type or paste gfx and pause while the list is filtered
(c) Double-click the gfx.content.azure.enabled preference to switch it from true to false.
I don't know whether that kicks in right away or the next time you exit and restart Firefox.
This did not work...please help. The problem still exsists when using foxfire and not IE
Could you attach a screen shot of a page that has this problem to your next reply? This article has tips on that: How do I create a screenshot of my problem?
You might have a corrupted font, or Firefox might be making a bad font substitution....
Do you use the default setting of letting pages choose their own fonts? That would be switched in the Content panel of the Options dialog.
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
In the Fonts & Colors section, click the "Advanced" button. By default, the box is checked to "Allow pages to choose their own fonts".
This can be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.
You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted or otherwise malfunctioning font(s).
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
