Hi guys,

Is there a way to change default fonts on Firefox for better and clearer ones?

Although I don't like it much, I use IE 9 for some websites which don't support Firefox. After visiting a couple of websites I realized IE has clearer fonts than Firefox. I read a lot on the internet and I found much better doing it with IE 9 fonts than with Firefox.

I'm using Firefox 20 and IE 9 on Windows 7 Pro 32bits.

I attach an image to be clearer on what I say. I hope you understand.

PS: I've already tried disabling "hardware acceleration" but still no joy.

hello, another addon you could look at is Anti-Aliasing Tuner which offers various settings to change the rendering of text.

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

Thanks corischauer but those extensions didn't fix my problem even though I've been trying configurating those extensions in different ways,.
