Help with Firefox seperating spacing in words!?

Firefox has spaced letters and words extremely far apart, and to the point where I cannot read it anymore.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but this did not work.

Take a look at what I mean:

Google's "I'm feeling lucky" has a bunch of spaces between the I and the rest of the letters.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Greatly appreciate it if you could help me!

Chosen solution

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

This can also be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.
You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
