text appears blurred only in certain areas. When you mouse over the text or highlight the text then remove the highlighting the text becomes crystal clear or sharp and will stay that way.

Hello,

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.

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.).

Then perform these steps:

  • Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
  • In the Firefox options window click the Advanced tab, then select "General".
  • In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
  • 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.

Thank you so much for this fix... I've been using Firefox since the early 2000's... With no problems... This pixel problem has only shown up in the last 3 or 4 versions of Firefox... I only wish that I had asked this question before I bought a new monitor... Once again Mucho Gracias my new best amigo...
