Pixels appear incomplete in certain areas within text. The words are blurry like the pixels haven't fully opened...

text appears blurred only in certain areas. When you mouse over the text or highlight the text then remove the highlighting the text becomes crystal clear or sharp and will stay that way.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might 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.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, 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, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

    When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. It makes it very difficult to read and awful to look at.

    Same problem, 3.6.8 and previous recent versions. I never thought to try another browser but I just pasted into IE and it worked fine. I copied from Firefox to IE and it worked as well. It's just when you paste into Firefox that you get the weird line breaks.

    Hi ewhuntley,
    It sounds like you may be running Acrobat 11.0.07, is that correct? If so, please choose Edit > Preferences > General. In the entry Scale for Screen Resolution, choose 100%. Save your changes, and restart Acrobat. Did that do the trick?

  • If I am viewing a page with the words date or match, the words are hyperlinks to a dating website. This is not so if I view the same pages in IE and has not been picked up by Norton, Spybot or malware bytes etc. Is this a Firefox bug?

  • I used the ticker tape mode to add subtitles to a clip. When playing it in the pc, the Subtitles are fine, however, when playing it on the tv, only the top half of the words are visible. Any idea why?

    I added subtitles to a movie clip using the ticker tape option. When viewing on the iMac, the words are visible, however, when playing it in the tv, only the top half of the words are visible. Does anyone know why?

    I would agree with Keith Barkley, it may be the TV Safe Area. You can see what spots might be blocked out or cut off by going to iDVD and opening the original DVD project, under the View Menu > Show TV Safe Area. If your title gets cut off by the cropping rectangle displayed, that may account for the cut-off.

  • How do I ensure the words are aligned

    Dear All,
    I am having trouble actually ensuring the words are all left aligned in my address block.
    Any ideas of how I can actually do this?
    Here is the screen shot of a sample. I need the "I" and the "1" and the "L" all aligned exactly.
    Any ideas?

    Look at "Optical Margin Alignment" which works for the entire frame or story. Window -> Type and Tables -> Story
    The words really are left-aligned, according to (I think) the side bearing defined in the font. I bet if you zoom out, or look at the printed version, the difference you're seeing zoomed in onscreen and next to guides will be much reduced.
    In some cases (poorly designed fonts, families from different foundries used together with very different design assumptions) I've had to use very small thin spaces to make it work visually.

  • When i listen to music, the words are jumble, and scratchy.

    when i listen to music the words are uneven, and scracthy, its like the headphones arnt working right, but i have tried using other headphones and they have all had the same outcome.
    i dont know what to do, i like using my phone for music.
    a few days ago, there was something stuck in the headphone jack, and i had to get it out, maybe i might i done something to it?
    i need help, ive had my iphone 3g for a year now,

    It could be that there is lint jammed down in there if there is just take a safety pin or something small and check but be careful. Or the moisture could have eroded the connectors.
    Also try air duster in the jack.

  • Creating of the word-frequency histogram from the Oracle Text

    I need make from the Oracle Text index of the "word-frequency histogram", this is list of the tokens in this index, where each token contains the list of documents that contain that token and frequency this token in the every document. Don´t anybody know how to get this data from Oracle Text index so that result will save to the table or to the text file?

    You can use ctx_report.token_info to decipher the token_info column, but I don't think the report format that it produces is what you want. You can use a query template and specify algorithm=count to obtain the number of times a token appears in the indexed column. You can do that for every token by using the dr$...$i table, as shown below. Formatting is preserved by prefacing the code with pre enclosed in square brackets on the line above all of the code and /pre in square brackets on the line below all of the code.

  • I shut down firefox one day and when i started it back up all the tabs i had open from last session are still there.never used to be like that now every time i open the browser there are about nine of them..how do i prevent this?

    there are 11 tabs open when i open firefox v 6.01.and they are all from a previous session a couple weeks ago..

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • I can't print my playlist properly. The words are coming out on top of one another

    I can't print my playlist properly all of a sudden. The words come out on top of one anther.

    We can't access a saved screenshot that is on your computer.<br />
    You need to upload the image to attach it.
    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    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.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Why is there a number in parenthesis ie: (7) before the Words with Friends in the Tab Bar? Does it mean there are seven copies of it opened and is that the reason it is so slow?

    When I open Firefox and go to "Words with Friends" in the Tab Bar a number in parenthesis is always there.....any number from 3 to 8, ie: (8). I have shut down the computer and restarted it thinking it will go away and sometimes the number will be different....but some number always remains.

    Such an addition is likely to be added by one of the extensions.
