Text quality from websites noticeably inferior to Internet Explorer, is there a fix for this?

The quality of text on websites is quite poor with thin type and fuzzy definition, however pictures are good. The quality is noticeably worse than IE8 on the same computer.

Firefox uses your system-level setting for ClearType font anti-aliasing. Internet Explorer has a separate setting so you can use ClearType in IE even if you aren't using it system-wide. This might explain why you see a difference.
Can you check your ClearType setting using the steps in this article:

  • Lately the sequence order of the bookmark toolbar items changes from time to time. Rather irritating - is there a fix for this?

    The problem started about a week or two ago. Usually it is just one or two tabs which have shifted. I am using Xmarks. I have not noticed any changes on the items within the various tabs, just a random shifting of the tabs.

    Let me refine my question and issue because I'm now realizing that Logic is just delaying the recording, expecting latency (which is a horrible feature... good idea, but failed execution). So, is there any way to turn this off within the DAW? I want things to record on the grid. There shouldn't be any latency just trying to mix a few audio files together... right? Maybe I just never noticed in Pro Tools or the like. I'm going to test all the other DAWs as soon as I have time and see how they handle it. I know how to hone in the recording delay, but it never gets spot on for me. I still have to end up editing an externally recorded piece of audio, which is ok. But I don't find it acceptable when working completely in the DAW with just audio files...
    Maybe I'm just doing something wrong... so I'm going to work on the delay... but I'm hoping someone has dealt with this before.

  • I just upgraded to firefox 4 and it won't play any videos on the internet. Is there a fix for this or how can I go back to the previous version.

    my firefox 4 wont play any videos. adobe flash player says its not compatible with this arcitecture. Did anyone bother to test this before releasing it.

    I appreciate you taking the time to respond, but I don't want to uninstall my persona. I want to uninstall FireFox 4. I love my persona.
    It really bugs the crap out of me when FireFox sends these upgrades around and I click "yes" to install them then my entire desktop stops working.
    Is it always necessary for their upgrades to render the add-ons that people develop useless?

    TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

  • When I go through the 'import favorites' from Internet Explorer, everything seems to progress correctly. However, when I click on Bokkmarks, there is no option in the menu for accessing the imported items form EI. Is there a fix for this?

    When I go through the 'import favorites' from Internet Explorer, everything seems to progress correctly. However, when I click on Bokkmarks, there is no option in the menu for accessing the imported items form EI. Why would this option be missing and is there a fix for this?

    Hello Nigel.
    Are you sure the Bookmarks you important are nowhere to be found? They should be stored in your bookmark manager, somewhere. To access the bookmark manager, go into ''Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks...''. Try searching there.
    You can change their place from there too.

  • I have an I Pad 1 with 64 gigs. It constantly drops me off the Internet for no apparent reason. Is there any fix for this problem?

    My I Pad 1 constantly drops me off the Internet and programs. Is there any fix for this problem?  It started after the last update and continues to get worse.
    Doug

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

    Hello Turintest2,
    I am having a similar problem.  I have over 4000 songs giving me this error.  I certainily don't want to go in one by one and find them.  I know you wrote a script for Windows but I am a Mac user.  Is there a fix for me?  Here is the info on where the song is currently (used by doing the get info)
    Here's a shot of my preferences:
    Just FYI, I know that apparently iTunes is looking for this music in the trash.  However, if I go here:
    Then I find the music there as well.  (Which is where it is in my preferences.)
    Please help!  I don't want to have to go through over 4000 songs and update them one by one.

  • Hi, Just bought an ipod classic 160gb and i notice that when I turn the volume down all the way, music is still heard, i.e. I cannot turn it down lower than a certain volume. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

    I've got a feeling that's the way it is. I know that if I turn the volume down all the way, I can still hear the music very softly -- which is great for listening when I have a migraine!

    TomCT60,
    Is your MacBook using Mac OS X 10.6.8 as indicated in your post? If so you will not be able to fully integrate with iCloud.
    iCloud and Snow Leopard, by Roger Wilmut describes what iCloud options are available for Snow Leopard.
    If you are using Lion, go to iCal>Preferences...>Accounts, and delete/re-add your iCloud CalDAV server.

  • I accidentally deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved it. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open. Is there a fix for this without my Ipod?

    I accidently deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved the program. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open.Is there a eazy fix for this without using my Ipod? Ihave 6K songs in Itunes that I can't get to.
    Thank You
    T-BILL

    Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
    Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
    If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
    You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

    Hi Charlotte,
    You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
    Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
    HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
    IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
    To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
    The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

  • With th recent update from firefox the widevine media transformer plugin that is required by dish online is not compatible, is there a fix for this now or in thenear future?

    widevine media transformer plugin
    I have been on several forums and the consensus seems to be that it take 2-6 months for the widevine developers to put an update to their plugin that will be compatible with firefox, This update allows customers of Dish Network, and Amazon Prime, to view online video of movies and Television shows they offer. Dish Network is a major provider, and has nation wide coverage areas so the plugin for mozilla firefox users is vital. I would rather not have to go to Internet Explorer for even this one site. I have been a faithful Mozilla user since 2007.

    Self-hosted add-ons have to be fixed for every new version of Firefox. Two to 6 months for updating an add-on is ridiculous for a program which has a new version release every '''6 weeks'''. If that extension was hosted at the official Add-ons website, Mozilla would take take care of "bumping" that extension, as long as it keeps working, for every new version of Firefox, as the new version is released.
    See this thread from yesterday, I posted instructions about how to "bump" that extension for Firefox 7.<br />
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/884484
    You can also use this extension to "bump" an already installed extension for compatibility with the currently installed version of Firefox. <br />
