The font in the navigation bar, and the search bar looks REALLY bad (worse than Firefox 3.6). Is there any way I can edit my about:config, or my operating system settings to fix this?

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox 4.0: Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: [ ] "Use hardware acceleration when available"

It may have something to do with the Persona that you are using in FF

See here for some information

I'm not using any personas.

I think that FF 4.0 beta x comes with a default Persona.

Go here to change/add a Persona and see it the appearance is any better or worse. You may have to experiment with several or more Personas to find one that you like.

When you mouse over the Persona without actually installing it FF will show what that Persona will look like. When you find one you like just click on it.

I don't want any damn persona's. It's obviously a problem with firefox itself.

Does it help if you disable hardware acceleration:

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

Thanks, that fixed it.

Yes, disabling hardware acceleration fixed this for me too.

I hope that this bug gets fixed and that I can use hardware acceleration when the final phase comes out.

Размытый текст (в Панели меню, в основном) появился, когда я сделал свою картинку.

Попытка исправить путём <Tools > Options > Advanced > General > 

Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available" > - не удалась, поскольку такой опции в моем FF нет.

Неожиданно проблема решилась сама собой, когда установил ешё дополнение
Personas Interactive.
В его настройках - поставить галочку на 'Don't display text shadow'.

Кстати, Personas Plus можно после этого отключить: Personas Interactive отслеживает все установленные темы. _____________________________________________

Blur text (in the menu bar, mostly) showed up when I made the picture.

Attempt to fix this using < Tools > Options > Advanced > General Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available" > - failed because there is no such option in my FF.

Suddenly the problem solved itself when I installed additionally add-on Personas Interactive. In the Preferences switch on the ' Don't display text shadow '.

By the way, Personas Plus, you can then disable: Personas Interactive tracks all installed themes.
