Firefox is displaying text in SOME windows so highly pixellated that it is unreadable. Other browsers display the same windows normally. This has been going on for a couple of months now. I really like(d) Firefox befo0re this happened. Since other browsers display correctly, I feel that it is not a hardware problem. Firefox also covers SOME graphics with green.bold text

Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar. Across from fonts and colors, press the Advanced button. On the bottom, turn on Allow Web Sites To Choose Their Own.

Make sure you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the OS settings.

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
