Fonts are hard to read in some website

Until this evening I was using Firefox 36.0.4 as my default browser and everything was OK. After that I was curious to check Firefox 0.10 and installed it which overrides 36.0.4. After playing with 0.10, I again updated it into Firefox 36.0.4 and the problem started here!
Some of websites like yahoo are rendering font so badly that I even can't read them. But the point here is I haven't touched any config/option/profile in 0.10, just browsed google to see the interface. That's it. Now can you help me, how I can go back into normal font rendering.

hi, please create a new profile. i don't think that your existing one may have survived running under a 10 year old firefox - those things are obviously not downwards-compatible:

  • I would like to know how to change the color scheme of my tabs. They are dark grey with a lighter grey print and are hard to read. How do I make them different colors?

    When I open Firefox, the tabs for the homepages are dark grey and the print is a lighter grey but they are hard to read. How can I change the color of these tabs and fonts?

  • COMBO BOXES AND SOME PAGES ARE NOT SHOWN CORRECTLY IN SOME WEBSITES LIKE SBICAPSEC AND MAXNEWYORK LIFE. BUT NO PROBLEM USING WITH IEXPLORER

    I am not able to login to maxnewyork life insurance site while using firefox. I am using firefox 3.6.10 now. Combo boxes are not shown in the some trading websites. I uses noscript2.0.3.3, javaconsol6.0.21, javascript option 1.2.6 and WOT20100908. It creates feeling of inferiority in using Firefox due to these problems.

  • MacBook Pro fonts are impossible to read

    My Macbook Pro has a 17" screen and a default resolution of 1200x1900.
    The fonts are so small that it is impossible to work with.
    Leopard had a feature on its list that would fix this, I lost track of this feature (I guess Apple dumped it in the Trashbin, to release the IPhone in time). Is there a solution out there, one that enables me to work on my new Macbook?

    I do agree that the zoom is not useful. And I also agree that UA is not all that it should be. Why not have a magnifier for the menu bar like you do for the dock? Why not be able to set a font size preference that would work for any window? I really hate to say this, but the much despised WIN 98 that my mother-in-law had seemed to have better settings for the visually impaired. Even my Dad's Win ME is better. He is legally blind with some remaining vision, and I was able to set up his computer so he could see it a lot better. And I think the high contrast mode that these systems had worked a lot better than the Apple slider. Maybe it's time for some Feedback to Apple.
    It's little comfort, but I did find a way to make some of Finder better. Click on the Finder icon and then on View and then on View Options. You can increase some of the text to 16 point. Unfortunately, this does not work on the left column, which remains tiny. I don't know why there's no way to make it bigger.
    Here's hoping they will add the solution they had in a future update!

  • Upscaled images look blurry, is there a way to sharpen them? In particular, zooming on pages with images that actually contain only text are hard to read.

    I am zooming in on my homework in mastering physics. I am using a large screen and sitting far away. It uses a lot of images containing the text I need to read, but when the images are upscaled, they become very blurry and hard to read. A simple sharpen effect after it is resized would fix the problem. Is there a way to do this in firefox? like a command line switch or maybe something in about:config? Thanks

    It may sound counter-intuitive, but could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If you restart Firefox, is the issue resolved?

  • Font titles hard to read in new software update

    Is there a way to make the icon titles black instead of white?  I changed my setting to bold but the titles are still hard to read.

    No - unfortunately not but you can leave feedback for Apple about the issue, which others have reported, by going here:

  • Mouse Right Click Menus flash and are hard to read

    I am using Windows 7, and on FF 14.0.1.
    Basically, I am having the exact same issue as is described here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/753329?as=aaq
    When I right click on menus, or when I go to the Firefox menu, the menu is bordered, but it is transparent. If I click on the location where a menu option is, that option is enabled (open new tab, etc). Or if I use the shortcut key, that also works.
    But it's a big pain.

    Do you use a custom theme or any add-ons that customize menus?
    This was helpful to some users in the other thread: did you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.

  • My browser's are 'unable to connect' to some websites after upgrading to mavericks.

    the message i get is:
    Unable to connect
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.adobe.com.
        The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
        If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
        If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    this is happening on reliable sites such as www.adobe.com, however, there are other sites that also won't load such as (http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html), and though it seems specific to adobe. i had a friend try going to the adobe site on a different machine running osx 10.6 and they could load the page fine. i tried firefox and safari and neither will load the page.
    i'm running:
    os x 10.9.2

    memory- 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

    You, or someone using your computer, may have hacked the system to redirect queries to certain servers. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
    The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
    Back up all data.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    open -e /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
    Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
    If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
    sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
    That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

  • Documents opened in Acrobat XI are hard to read

    I apologize for this post being in the wrong forum.  Unfortunately, Adobe did not see fit to create a forum for the most basic problems.
    Here is the problem:  Whenever I open a PDF with text in it, it is virtually unreadable to my eyes.  The pixelation and dimensions of the letters make the letters horrible to read.  To make the difference visible to you here are screen captures of the same document viewed using different apps.  (BTW, I am running Win 8-64 bit).
    Windows Reader:
    Acrobat XI View:
    Acrobat 9 Pro View:
    The difference should be obvious.  Moreover, I also replicated the same differential on both our Mac and out Win 8 32 bit, so the problem is inherent in Acrobat XI and not system nor machine related.
    The problem extends across most but not all documents and means of accessing:  documents I receive, documents I create by using print>adobe.  HOWEVER, when I create straight from IE using the toolbar, I seem to get a better version sometimes.
    This is really an issue when I am trying to read/form an e-book in PDF form.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Michael

    I believe you have a preference setting in XI not set correctly.  In the Mac Version check the following:
    In windows the setting may be named differen but should still be there. The item about Screen resolution could be set to automatic

  • IOS 7 colors and graphics are hard to read.

    Just downloaded iOS 7. I already enlarged the email text which was tiny.  Can Safari be adjusted? The color scheme of the keyboard is way too pale. The darker  backgrounds were much easier to read. Does anyone know if this be be adjusted. Or did the designers assume customers are all teenagers with super vision?

  • My verizon email with on firefox has very small letters, hard to read. HELP

    My email messages are coming in in small letters and are hard to read. I am on verizon.
    this does not occur when I use internet explorer.
    Please tell me what to do so the letters will be bigger and I can then read the messages.

    Hi jeanbrasel, sorry you are having problems. I assume your problem is with the desktop version of Firefox. In that case try this.
    Click the Firefox button in the upper left-hand corner. Click Options, then click the Content tab. Check the Fonts & Colors section to make sure that the default size is acceptable. If that is acceptable, then click the Advanced button and uncheck the box next to "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above". Then select a minimum size, such as 12. Here is a screenshot to help you. If that doesn't fix it, reply back!
