How do I cure indistinct text on webpages corrected,only temporarily, by highlighting with left hand mouse button?
When visiting most webpages some of the text often lacks crispness and has a colour 'bleed'. This can be cured by highlighting the required area with the left hand mouse button. Scrolling away from the 'corrected' section can cause it to revert to the original, unsatisfactory, appearance. This problem does not occur when viewing the same source with IE.

Thanks for the advice - disabling the 'use hadware acceration' checkbox appears to have resolved the issue which did make it's appearance after updating a driver.

Are these just the website's own fonts, no custom settings or add-ons overriding it?
Could you try disabling Firefox's use of hardware graphics acceleration? The developers haven't been able to ensure compatibility with all graphics cards and driver updates.
You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If you restart Firefox, is the issue resolved or at all improved?
Try to set the gfx.content.azure.enabled pref to false or if this didn't help disable Direct2D by setting the gfx.direct2d.disabled pref to true on the about:config page and leave hardware acceleration otherwise enabled.
