Firefox problem fonts

Recently, I installed firefox on my laptop which is running Vista 64 bit and the fonts are terrible!
I have FF on my desk, and I don't have this problem at all. So, wok well IE fonts, so I know that it is not a hardware problem.

I, ve read other problems of fonts listed in this help topic, but none of the solutions have worked for me.

Here's a side-by-side of Mozilla on the left and IE on the right. Note that the fonts are very irregular and distorted on FF but nice and smooth in IE?

Change type of police and the size in the Options does nothing to address them; Neither fact unchecking the box of hardware acceleration. The zoom on the two browsers is set to 0.

Help, please. It makes me crazy, and I am ready to uninstall FF on this laptop.

Also make sure that ClearType is enabled.

Vista: Control Panel > personalization > window color and appearance > Effects: "use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts".

What font is used when you right-click text and open the built-in Inspector (Firefox/tools > Web Developer;) CTRL + SHIFT + I) and go to the tab fonts?

The fonts used remotely listed if you click on the button to display the fonts used in the page?

    To test how Firefox works no 'custom' on your system, could you experience in two minutes?

    Create a new Firefox profile

    A new profile will be your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions or other customizations. It should also have databases of completely fresh settings and cool a cache folder.

    Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run):

    firefox.exe -P
    

    Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    You will click on the button create a profile. I recommend using the suggested default location (do not click the button to choose a different folder). Then launch Firefox in the new profile that you have created.

    You can get the print in the new profile dialog box?

    If so, it is probably a problem with one of your files, settings or extensions. If not, your installation of Firefox is maybe damaged. Rather than insert pages of instructions at this point, could report you on the results of the test first?

    When you return to the Profile Manager to return to your normal settings, you might be tempted to use the button to delete the profile. It's a little too easy to accidentally delete your 'real' profile, so I recommend you to resist the temptation. If you don't want to clean up later, I suggest to make a backup of all your profiles first in case something go wrong.

  • Firefox problem with Captivate 2?

    Hi all
    I went through these forums and on the Web for a solution to my problem, but none will be presented. I use Adobe captivate 2 to create a simulation. I publish the simulation as a SWF with HTML. I test on my local machine in Firefox 1.5.0.9 and with Internet Explorer 6.0.29. Everything works fine on the spot. If I put it on the Web, everythign works as expected in Internet Explorer, however with Firefox, the shortcut key 'Enter', that I have assigned to a text entry box does not work. Nothing happens. Does not proceed to the next screen, does not display the legend of failure. For the sake of curiosity, I tested this problem with an old sim card I created with Captivate 1. The problem is not with captivate evidient 1. The problem seems to be attached to Firefox, Captivate 2 and access to the simulation on the Web. (Unfortunately, I can't provide a link to the problem, as it is a secure site, and which would involve giving you a password in order to release the material to the company. They would not like this so ;))

    Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated, because this problem has left me speechless.

    Thank you
    Keith

    Hi all

    Thank you for your response. I found the solution. I assumed the standard.js file published by captivate was to suppress the warning flash IE. However, no calling not this file in my custom HTML page, load the SWF file has caused the key of the entry in Firefox problem.

  • After updating Firefox, the font on my screen size has been reduced for all applications. How can I increase the size of the font on my screen?

    After the update, the next screen shows all the letters in smaller characters, with fewer pixels. All screens are like that now, and I found nothing in Firefox Help content. It is a problem because I have vision problems. So, how can I increase the font size that had it before? My screen is approximately 20 inches wide.

       Also, any chance I can change all the font to Arial instead of Times New Roman?

  • Firefox problem on the form Page

    http://dev.pavemend.ads-websites.com/contact_page.html

    My point of view page fine form with Safari, Chrome and Opera. When I view it in Firefox, it's all messed up. Anyone know how I can fix this problem? I created this form using a table to control the size of the form fields. What is my problem?

    Instead of using the size attribute of html = "50" try using css widths and put them in pixels.

    {#lastname}

    Width: 357px;

    }

    The html for the size attribute is based on the font used in "characters". The result obtained by the police between browsres can change the size.

  • Alignment in Firefox problem

    I have a business Web site www.rove-n-ramble.com , it works fine in ie and chrome. But not in firefox (38.0.5). The main problem is in the part of cursor. The cursor almost out of the page instead of in the middle and so ugly. PL. help me in this regard.

    This happens usually if there is not a clear CSS rule for this element (container).
    This causes Firefox to begin to make the cursor immediately after the menu and not at the beginning on the next line.

    #templatemo_slider { clear:both; }
    <div style="clear: both;" id="templatemo_slider">
  • Firefox problems after refresh problems

    I did the "Refresh" asked Firefox, but now have multiple problems.

    (1) under Google to Yahoo search engine. It is a royal pain that Firefox provides no easy solution. Should be the basic option.
    (2) lost my homepage - fixed
    (3) when I reduce Firefox, he died. Must he reboot every time.
    (4) pins tabs are not remembered in the sessions
    (5) does not appear as active in the Windows taskbar

    EXTREMELY frustrated by this "update of the performance.

    Hi SDJ1, to change your default search engine, click on the magnifying glass to the left of the search bar, then "Edit Search Settings" at the bottom of the Panel that goes down. More information: use of the search bar in Firefox.

    These symptoms are intriguing for me:

    (3) when I reduce Firefox, he died. Must he reboot every time.

    (4) pins tabs are not remembered in the sessions

    (5) does not appear as active in the Windows taskbar

    On #3: Remember to always disable Firefox to use hardware acceleration? After the update, it is reactivated by default.

    You can check the updates of your Intel graphics drivers by following the steps in this article: update your drivers graphics to use hardware acceleration and WebGL.

    However, if this does not help, I would try to disable hardware acceleration here:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

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

    This takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it again. Any difference?

    On #4: We remind the tabs pinned as part of your tabs and windows open. Is anything get restored? I assume you are using history > restore previous Session if you not automatically restore your previous session. (Restore previous session - configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs, windows and)

    If you have pinned back before tabs without having to restore your session, which could have been manipulated by an add-on.

    On #5: I can't think what would cause that, unless the problem is that, after the closure of the last window, Firefox hangs and continues to run instead of closing completely. In this case, you get a message from Firefox that it cannot start because it is still ongoing, but there is no tiling/button/tab on the taskbar.

  • By default Firefox screen fonts distorted after the last update.

    I got the update for Firefox 33.0.3 the other day, and since the 'default' screen fonts are not the same. Text various (on her "ask your question... ("support page I am on now, for example) a registration that is weak or appear"broken ". When I open the same page in Internet Explorer, it looks very good. Any ideas, please?

    Hey, I found it... and fixed it! Windows has a feature called Clear of Type technology. Their description is a bit vague; of course, it's a kind of liaison between Windows and the graphics controller. Someone on another forum mentioned clear Type part of an independent issue, so in desperation I followed his instructions and found the "secret switch. Of course, it was transformed into 'off' (a "normative", actually), and once I lit it all now seems just the way it did a few days ago. My K & E 'Drafting Table green' always came not with Firefox, but it is normal; at least I can read the text now.
