FF 27 - My fonts are pixely and I can't figure out why.
Hello friends,
About 4 weeks ago the fonts on every page I visit using Firefox became pixely (some letters seem bolded, the lines seem low resolution, etc.). I've attempted the following steps to fix with no success:
- Upgraded to FF 27 - Reset to default - Switched off hardware acceleration
Here is a link to a screenshot comparison of FF27 vs. Chrome vs. IE: http://i.imgur.com/f8EBC6p.png
The only thing I can think of that might be the culprit is that around the same time I got a new monitor that required a display driver installed on my laptop.
What other trouble shooting steps can I take to help fix the font display while I use my beloved Firefox?
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Try playing with this: =
layers.acceleration.disabled: True
And make sure that firefox has the updated driver you can check in "about:support".
and try disabling hardware acceleration:Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
- Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
- In the Firefox options window click the Advanced tab, then select "General".
- In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
- Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:

@guigs2 Thank you for your help!
Turns out disables WebGl was the trick. I just tried re-enabling Hardware acceleration with WebGL so see if it was the combination of the two - and it turns out having WebGL disabled alone solves the problem.
Seriously, thank you for this contribution and all you do to help other FF users. :)
