I don't use Chrome for the same reason, and now it's happened to FF. I'm on a desktop/monitor WIN 10. With the last FF upgrade to 89.0 text has faded on some web pages. (Almost all of Ebay) When I tried to fix this on Chrome years ago, I thought I was missing a system font. That was not the case and everything I attempted, failed. Now, last week, FF upgraded and here I am again. Please help if you can. Thank you.

I had the same problem before on windows 10. Here is how I fixed.

  • Check Cleartype is enabled or not by running cttune command on run(Win+R).
  • If it is enabled, you need to disable it by unchecking the checkbox.
  • And finally run the setup.
  • I hope this might solve your problem.

I had tried that solution years ago on Chrome and it had no effect, BUT this time, on FF, it did work. Thank you for the refresher course! :-)
