sync set up caused slow start and blurred tab text

more options

I set up sync in my user acct in order to transfer everything to my admin acct. I then switched users to my admin acct and reopened sync. After successfully transferring all data, the text in the tabs blurred. I logged out of sync and closed Firefox and switched users back to my user acct and opened Firefox. Before sync it took less than a second to open. After sync it takes 3-4 seconds and all tab text is blurry. All other text is normal except that in the tabs. Additionally, if I open "Customize" from the menu, the tab text returns to normal until I close it, then tabs get blurry again. Restart of PC did not solve the issue. OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, Firefox: 37.0.2 What have I done?

Chosen solution

<Solved> I didn't notice that the theme I was using, as user and admin, was also blurred. I disabled the theme and font returned to normal but, back to blurred when re-enabled so, I removed the theme, restarted FF, re-installed the theme and all is normal again including start up time. Thank me very much. :)
