WOFF2 / Google Fonts render incorrectly after first reload

  • Tiada balasan
  • 0 ada masalah ini

Hi Firefox support,

I’m experiencing a persistent issue with Google Fonts (.woff2) on Windows 10. Only on some but not all pages whoch are using Google Font woff2: Fonts display correctly after starting Firefox, but as soon as I reload the pages with for the first time, they appear corrupted and remain broken. Private Browsing mode renders the fonts correctly, and Chrome does not have this problem.

Below is a detailed list of everything I’ve tried with ChatGPT so far to troubleshoot the issue.

(OS: latest Windows 10)

Browser: Firefox (freshly installed, no sync)

Behavior:

Example site: https://www.linguee.de/

Steps already attempted:

Disabled all extensions

Tested in Firefox Safe Mode / Troubleshoot Mode

Created a new Firefox profile

Fresh Firefox installation without signing in

Deleted all relevant caches:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\cache2

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\storage

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\startupCache

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\

Verified / adjusted Firefox config in about:config:

browser.display.use_document_fonts = 1

gfx.webrender.all = false

WebRender running in WebRender (Software) mode

privacy.resistFingerprinting = false

browser.cache.disk.enable = false

network.http.rcwn.enabled = false

accessibility.force_disabled = 1

Disabled hardware acceleration for testing

Tested DirectWrite / Direct3D settings

Recalibrated ClearType

Ran sfc /scannow to repair system fonts

Temporarily disabled antivirus / web protection

Tested behavior in private mode versus normal mode

Observed that hard reload (Ctrl + F5) does not fix fonts

Noted that only .woff2 (Google Fonts) are affected; system fonts render normally

Summary:

Issue is not caused by extensions, profile, cache, or a fresh install

Private Browsing works → problem is related to persistent normal-mode caching or rendering

Only occurs in normal windows, consistently reproducible after first reload

Problem seems specific to .woff2 font handling and Firefox’s rendering pipeline on Windows 10
