59.0.1 - rendering errors on sites, including the defalt new tab
Greetings, after updating to 59.0.1 (64-bit, W10), some elements do not load at all or load only after pointing the cursor at them. This includes even the default new tab page. Refreshing FF did not help. (note - plug-ins automatically reinstalled thanks to Sync after a while, hence they are present in the Troubleshooting Information, but the issue persisted before they reinstalled) Thank you.

hi, thanks for reporting this. we are currently looking into this issue in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1435472
it appears to be an issue that only affects users who have turned off cleartype font rendering within their windows settings. so a workaround for the moment would either be to turn cleartype back on or disabling hardware acceleration in firefox and restart the browser once: Firefox's performance settings
Great, thank you for both quick reply and the solving.
On my laptop with Intel integrated card (again, W10 and 59.0.1), the issue is NOT present, despite having the font blur "cleartype" turned off.
Might it be related to AMD?

Sorry, unknown here, and the over all is this does not effect everyone.
we have seen this reported from users of all different gpu vendors (intel, nvidia & amd so far), so there will likely be other factors playing into this as well...
