Hi. I have a problem with fonts in Firefox - fonts are blurred due to "DirectWrite" and I don't know how to disable "DirectWrite" exсept turn off "hardware acceleration when available". But if I disable hardware acceleration, high quality video's on YouTube beginning to break. I had the same problem in Chrome. I just disable DirectWrite in experimental features (chrome://flags).

I solved the problem: in about:config - gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode set 2 (Use GDI Classic rendering mode).
