When using Firefox some letters or words are not clear until I pass the mouse over them; then they appear normal. Letters seem broken and slightly faint until they are "moused." Other parts of the screen are fine. This only happens on my main monitor with a DVi-D connector to the PC. It doesn't happen with my second monitor which has an analogue connection. My main monitor also has a D-SUB socket but not on my graphics card. No problem with word files or graphics or videos.

hello, please try updating your graphics driver, or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general.

I couldn't update my graphics driver so i tried your alternative suggestion.Seems to have worked. Thank you. I didn't have this problem with Internet explorer which I tried, so it must have been the Firefox acceleration. Thanks again.
