Ok, taking your words here sorta I think and searched google using: " windows 10 fonts pixelated " https://www.google.ca/search?q=windows+10+fonts+pixilaed&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=XWFsWbX8J4H0jwOb8qfIAQ

I see that some of the characters are faded compared to all of them.
Type about:preferences#content<enter> in the address bar. Across from fonts and colors, press the Advanced button. On the bottom, turn on Allow Web Sites To Choose Their Own.
Fonts Information - Detected via Flash http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
thank for reply
followed step one box already ticked for allow sites to use own font result: still pixelated
shut down fire fox and restarted in safemode result: still pixelated
