Yesterday without any significant changes my fonts got bigger, they look all like they are bold. I reinstalled ff 32.0.2, deleted all data related to mozilla ff. Tried also beta and aurora and it still looks same.

any possible fix?

Hi meconium, try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. You might 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.).

Go from:

  1. Open Firefox Options window :
  2. click the menu button New Fx Menu and select Options
  3. In the Firefox Options window, click the Advanced tab, then select General.
  4. In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
  5. Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:

Thank you.
