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).
