Firefox Help

Post by tta »

I recently upgraded firefox on the laptop I'm using from 22.0 to 23.0, except the new build renders text slightly differently, it uses a different default font and it just seems "softer". Is there any way I can revert to the 22.0 style of text rendering?

Here might be a solution!
It was for an older version of FireFox - but it might still help!

Nope. :C
Some of the info they reference is outdated. The blur isn't blurry enough to be called "blurry" (if that makes sense), but text isn't as crisp and sharp as it was before, AND there is a new default font inplace.

Well, it seems you've been having many problems with this version of Firefox so... I think it would be best just to downgrade until they make a change or something.

Or you could always change browsers.

I'm using someone else's laptop, so I can't change browsers.

also I RLY doubt mozilla is going to tweak firefox JUST to make it compatible w/ XenForo forums.

That's a XenForo issue?

Chrome is my preferred browser, but this past year I've been using someone elses laptop to post on the 4-um, which is why you haven't been seeing too many art-related projects or fanfics from me compared to 2012.

It sounds like the text is being digitally softened, by your description.

So I found this http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/796715

And this http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/961806

And also: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/951942

Maybe one of those will help you!
