How do I fix font -it's scraggly, thin, almost out of focus compared to Internet Explorer

The font on Internet Explorer is thick, sharp, easy to read. The same pages on Mozilla Firefox has font that is thin, scraggly, almost looks out of focus, and is very difficult to read. The font settings are correct. The font clarity is terrible.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

Try to set the gfx.content.azure.enabled pref to false or if this didn't help disable Direct2D by setting the gfx.direct2d.disabled pref to true on the about:config page and leave hardware acceleration otherwise enabled.

  • How can I speed up Firfiox download speed since it is very slow compared to Internet Explorer or Opera.

    I first noticed that I was having trouble viewing videos on Firefox, but was able to correct that problem by doing something with Flash, if I recall correctly. Now I can view videos, but they are slow and choppy. When I check download speed using Firefox, it is 391 kbps (upload speed is 362 kbps). However, when I check download speed using Opera, it is 3161 kbps (upload speed is 367 kbps). Also, when I watch videos on Opera, of course, they are not choppy. I really want to continue using Firefox as my web browser. How can I make get the download speed back to normal?

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?<br />
    Make sure that it isn't restricting Firefox in any way (we've sen Norton NIS software mentioned to cause issues like this).
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • HT4759 How can I make the google chrome toolbar items open up in chrome rather than internet explorer?

    I downloaded the new icloud control pannel and when I click on the links in the start menu it always opens in internet explorer. Chrome is my default browser, and the bookmarks are synced with Chrome. Why is this opening in internet explorer and how do i change it? Thanks!

    My understanding of this is that its not currently possible
    I have read in other forums you needs to have Safari or IE to launch the apps, no other browser can be set as default.
    Hope for an update as I am

  • When composing new email (gmail) tool bar showing fonts, colors, bold, italics, underline, etc. is missing? When using Internet Explorer the bar is there.

    When using Firefox, the tool bar above the "compose mail" window is missing. I cannot change fonts, use bold, italics, underline, change colors, align margins, etc. When using Internet Explorer the bar IS there but I prefer Firefox, as it is much faster. My operating system is Vista.

    Thanks Tony T1, I have tried using the Mail -> Format drop downs...
    ... and using the format toolbar...
    ... and in both cases, Bold and Italic is greyed out... (bit hard to see in the second screenshot, but it is, honest!)
    The mail message is def set as Rich Text, which you can see in the first screenshot, as the option to Make Plain Text is there...

  • Firefox 5.0 on windows 7 freezes frequently. Please fix soon this problem because i don't want to migrate to internet explorer.

    I have firefox on my desktop together with Internet Explorer and Chrome. My favourite browser is (of course) Firefox. Today i upgraded from firefox 4.0 to 5.0. Since then Firefox has frozen a lot. I think I'd better return to 4.0 unless you fix the problem soon.

    I have the same problem. It freezes often and it takes something like 30 seconds or more to start working again (stops being frozen and in most cases works fine without a restart but it's extremely irritating!)

    The fonts look half bold half not . . . and all skew . .
    I'm not seeing anyting out of the ordinary in your screen shot, certainly not skew, but maybe I'm not looking at the right thing.
    As for the boldening, that's a known effect of using transparency on a page. It shows on screen, and in low resolution printing, but generally does not show on high resolution printing like you would get with a press.

  • HOw do I fix the fact that ical jumped (almost) all my events post daylight savings time change an hour ahead?

    A few weeks ago I noticed that everything past 3/8 was an hour ahead, and I assumed once daylight savings time changed it would all jump back. It hasn't, and I don't know how to continue scheduling events or if I should change them all.  I read that (a few years ago) the suggestion was give it 24 hours to adjust??

    I think this problem is more complex. Background - UK clocks went back at the end of October; the USA went back one week later. I am in the UK and my Outlook calendar contains appointments created in the USA.
    Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment before any clocks went back. In Outlook everything is correct. The meeting times are the same each week except for the one week between the two clock changes when, quite correctly, the meeting shows up one hour earlier. When I sync with my iPhone, the meeting shows at the same time every week regardless - this is incorrect.
    Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment in the week after the UK clocks went back but before the USA clocks did. Outlook correctly shows the first occurrence as one hour earlier than all the following occurrences. Unfortunately - and this is the really nasty bit - the iPhone shows ALL the appointments one hour earlier than they should be. The only one that is correct is the first one.
    This is a nasty bug and something that Apple needs to fix.

  • How do I fix this vzwavsservice? whatever this issue is, it has stopped the internet service on my S5

    I have a brand new phone and can hardly use it. how do I get my service back and what is verizon doing about this issue, if anything?
    I'm thinking of finally leaving verizon, I'm so tired of these antics.

    djjazzydavid have you tired to just turn off the vzwavsservice?
    Here is how I turned mine off... go to settings, applications, application manager. It should be on the "Download" screen when you first get there. Then swipe it over to " All", scroll down to vzwavsservice, click on it, clear cache and force shutdown or turn it off. See if that works. I no longer get that message on my phone after start-up. If it doesn't help you can always swipe over to "Turned Off" under the same application manager screen and turn it back on. Hope this temporary fix helps you out and not something else going on with the phone.
    But Verizon does need to fix the problem, not just tell us to factory reset or try uninstall updates. Such lame rep's, but of course they are just reading off what is in front of them or told to do. Have fun resetting and then having to put all your stuff back on again, if you want to go that route.
