For some reason, all websites have suddenly started showing text as BOLD and I'm finding it really annoying. Changing text settings in >>OPTIONS>>CONTENT has no effect whatsoever. Is there anything I can do to rectify this?

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.

If you notice problems just on particular websites, could you give a link to a site or two and point out the area with the problem, or post a screen shot showing the problem?

If you have recently installed any new fonts in the Helvetica family, please also see this thread: Problem with fonts. If I enable Hardware acceleration bold fonts look weird, but if I disable it, bold fonts look good, but normal fonts look weird.

Try to set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0 (default is -1) on the about:config page. If necessary adjust its value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) until icons or text looks right.

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.

You can look at the Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
