The text doesn't display properly. I reset firefox, reinstalled graphic driver and even unchecked "Use hardware acceleration when available" Nothing worked

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

Try to disable OMTC.

  • about:config page: layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

What font is used to display this text?

You can right-click on a web page and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer). You can check the font used for selected text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector.


This can be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.

One of the fonts was not displaying properly. But if I want the websites to display their fonts, shall I uninstall and reinstall the corrupt fonts
