For a long time Ive been reading my newspaper in the browser but recently I noticed that the resolution has been changed text is blurry and images unclear. If I download the file and read it with ADOBE PDF Reader it is as normal, sharp. I guess there is a setting that has change with one of the resent updates but I cant find it :(

I cant say when the resolution changed but it was round New Year / Christmas ....

I have auto update on.

Hope you can help me

I found a solution to this problem today. By reinstalling Firefox the issue got solved. I still don't know what went wrong neither why but it is gone, PDF behave as they shall :)

If this happens, check your output settings. Some PDF converters default to a relatively low resolution for output, resulting in a fuzzy-looking result. Use the same resolutions you would for originals, and don't choose images made at screen resolution for a document you intend to print.

Thanks but it did not help, I might have linked the issue to a win 11 problem. I have 2 computers one with 11 and one with 10. Browsers are synced with my account and both have the same setting add-ons etc, but the issue only appears on the laptop with win 11. But both computers had no issues before Christmas ... so something changed ...
