The text on many websites are now fuzzy and faint after upgrading to FF32. Examples are anandtech homepage and the "Dailytech News" section. The text is almost unreadable. Other websites are the same.

The above didn't solve my problem. I checked for video card updates and there was one from AMD. Installed them and, for now, the problem seems to have gone away on the couple of websites I was having issues with.

You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident. Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl/Command+0 (zero))

Try to create a new Boolean pref on the about:config page via the right-click context menu with the name layout.paint_rects_separately and set the value to true and leave hardware acceleration and Direct2D enabled.

  • layout.paint_rects_separately = true

That way you still have the benefit from hardware acceleration, but may not suffer from rendering issues.

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.
