Blurry text web page Firefox

When Internet Explorer web page screen text is clear. The same web page is blurry when you use Firefox (see table - text in the middle of the screen). Could you tell me how to fix it please.

RESOLVED (weird but resolved)

I had the same problem on my two PCs (one with Windows 7, the other with Windows XP). I tried the fixes above without success:

  • Zoom = zero
  • GFX. Direct2D.disabled = true
  • hardware acceleration = disabled

I read that open without display correctly in Firefox 17.0 so I downloaded the portable version that I wanted to put two photos of the show (which one with 17.0 FF) and the other with FF 29,0 hoping to find help. (I did it on my Win7 PC)

I started 17.0 FF, went to a page that has used without opens and I noticed that FF 17.0 actually display the fonts correctly. I took the snapshot and closed 17.0 FF. I then opened the same link and 29.0 FF to get the second snapshot... magically opened without displaying correctly in FF 29,0 too! (I restarted 29,0 FF and it still works).

Current configuration is:

  • GFX. Direct2D.disabled = false
  • hardware acceleration = on

After the launch (and then closed) 17.0 laptop FF had the question to 29,0 FF.

Do not know why. Experts can help us understand.

    Hi Gary, Firefox 31 and 32 are designed for themselves added as an extra Viewer for PDF files, but on some systems, the characterization of the PDFs also is changed accidentally.

    This approach was proposed by a user in another thread:

    1. Open Adobe Reader
    2. Edition-> Preferences
    3. In the categories column, click "General".
    4. At the bottom of the page, click on the button marked «Select default PDF Handler»
    5. In the dialog box, select 'Adobe Reader XI' and click 'apply '.
    6. A Configuration of Windows screen. Let him do his thing (takes a few minutes), and then restart your computer when you are prompted.

  • When scrolling on a web page, Firefox goes, I see my counter top, then turn on again.

    I have FireFox 28.0 on a windows 7 64 bit HP pavilion dv7 with 8 GB memory machine. When I visit a web site and scrolling, FireFox will disappear and I see only my desk top. He'll be back in a moment. This happens several times and can occur in quick succession. Doesn't seem to matter what I am on the web page.

    Hi radardr, have you found a solution for this, or it has itself resolved in Firefox 29?

  • Occasionally Safari for Mac does not load web pages; Firefox is loading of web pages. The possible reasons?

    I started having this problem around mid-2016. In short, if I use Safari to surf the internet, after about 5-10 minutes, Safari would not completely load the page not load completely. If I turn off my wifi then return (on the macbook), the page will load temporarily. On the other hand, Firefox does not have this problem and loads web pages normally. Possible reasons or solutions?

    I do not think that the problem comes from my internet connection or your router because my iPhone Safari normally connects under the same network.

    I use a Macbook Air, OSX V. 10.11.3 (El Capitan)

    Go step by step by step and test.

    1. turn off the power to the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.

    Plug it in, back to the wall. Turn on the router. Wait for all lights are light up properly. It will take a while.

    Restart the computer.

  • go to a web page, firefox will pass it to a "file not found" but arrow to the left shows the page then goes back to 'file not found' again.

    for example. Google 'bc spca', choose www.spca.bc.ca and go. Firefox gives me this...

    File not found
    Sorry, the page you requested was not found. Please try again.

    Original URI: /assets/tab_advocate_mo.jpg

    But if I hit the arrow to the left, it shows me the page I searched for a fraction of a second, then goes back to the file not found again. This does not happen with Chrome or Internet Explorer. They go to the appropriate page.

    I am running windows 8.1 and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. NO GO. Help, please.

    Generally if an image on a page can not be found, Firefox does not redirect the entire page with an error message. the area of the image is just left in white. If this is not normal.

    On the error page, what do you see in the address bar, if anything?

    To check if one of your extensions could be the culprit, could test some pages from Firefox Safe Mode problem? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

    After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Any difference?

  • 1. How can I put an application or a web page on my desktop? 2. why when I close on a web page, Firefox let me NOT close just a page I'm on rather than close all the?

    Dear people,
    I am a new user. Here are my questions:
    1. when I'm, say, Application B, how to create a shortcut icon on my desktop for Application B application? It is easy to do in Internet Explorer.
    2. Internet Explorer has a feature of "favorite places". Where is this feature in Firefox?
    3. If I have several pages open in Internet Explorer, I can simply close the page I'm on without closing all open pages. How can I get this feature in Firefox?

    Thank you
    Jim Sullivan

    Oh. You mean put a URL on your desktop, directly... No feature as far as I know this. Yet.

    I know this feature of IE, not in Firefox.

  • How can I stop auto refreshing a web page in XP immediately after its opening?

    Under XP, once I have access to a new web page Firefox auto update this page once the page is ~ 80 - 90% open - how can I stop this refreshment?

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of your modules is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).
    See the extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common troubleshooting Firefox problems and troubleshooting questions with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems

    If this does not work in safe mode and then disable all your extensions and then try to find out who is causing by allowing both the problem reappears.
    You can use 'Disable all add-ons' on the start safe mode window.
    You will need to close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • my web page text is blurry some letters are weak how can I fix

    the text on my web pages has some letters in the words and others there is only half of the letter that appears.

    I have tried view, zoom, reset. helps on some but not on the rest of page.
    I have reloaded firefox to no avail.
    I have cleared all settings back to default
    

    ... still the same problem...
    It's very frustrating,

    thinking of changing back to internet explorer.
    help....
    

    A number of things.

    First of all, you have ClearType disabled at the system level? Firefox is not its own version of ClearType integrated, unlike IE which applies ClearType even if you turn it off at the level of the system.

    Second, Firefox sometimes displays fonts ugly if it is incompatible with your graphics card driver. The solution is to disable the use of Firefox hardware acceleration. Here's how:

    the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    It takes effect after you quit and then restart Firefox.

    Any difference?

  • on some Web pages only you use firefox, the display text is sometimes glitched.

    OK, sometimes the text is glitched on Web pages. and if you highlight the text messed up it will be instantly normal. also have the most updated drivers. and this only happens with firefox.

    Hello trentenmarschel, try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    This solve your problems? Please report to us!

    Thank you.

  • Firefox Web pages will not print, pdf comes out blurry but fine with browser Safari for MAC OSX

    Firefox won't print Web pages correctly. The pdf comes out blurry but rather using the Safari browser. Apple store could not understand what is the problem. All plugin and java are up-to-date. Has happened since switching to Mac from the PC.

    Screenshots:

    https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m7t35vuo3f1t3mp/6DLjWZmquu

    I found the problem. In very simple terms, it's because I changed the default font to Century Gothic. Change back to the default font of windows, I did a test print to pdf preview and it is not blurry. Now, I'm playing with different fonts to see what will work best. So far I have Arial and Times New Roman both work very well.

  • Using Firefox 8.0 on a MacBook Pro I can no longer enlarge the text on web pages by dragging hand two fingers. Why?

    I just downloaded Firefox 8.0.1. I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.8. In the past, I could easily enlarge text on a web page by dragging two fingers apart, or even, to make the text smaller by pinching the fingers together. I can no longer do this with the latest version of Firefox. If I run Safari instead, I can still use this feature of Mac. Y at - it a setting I need to change? Or is this a bug in the new version of Firefox?

    Wow. I can't believe that I finally understood that. Thank you.

    My Internet EXPLORER Favorites list include several photos, text files and downloaded web pages, of which none appear when I import my Internet EXPLORER Favorites list in Firefox. Is there a way I can remember those?

    There is a work around:

    Export your IE Favorites to an HTML file, and then import it into Firefox. If you have questions more do not hesitate to ask.
