Webpages break if I use "open in new tab" for links.

I don't know why, resetting has done nothing, but opening links "in new tab" seems to break them and requires me to hover over text/images to view the stuff. "select all" seems to reveal all the text.

This carries over even if I restart firefox.

Hi could you please check this as there 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: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
