Forum Fuzzy/Blurry Text Randomly

Lurick
Go to solution Solved by Lurick,

It was definitely related to hardware acceleration in firefox but I think it's fixed with the new forum update.

Browser, version and OS: 

Firefox (seen for the past 6-8 months at least). Currently on Firefox 82.0

Windows 10

 

Steps to reproduce/what were you doing before it happened?

I notice it when I'm on another window and come back to the forum mostly. Text will randomly be fuzzy or kind of shadowed but a refresh fixes it every time. I've noticed it across multiple computers and different installs of Windows 10 and it only seems to be the forum that it happens on. Different monitors also show the same thing.

 

What happened?

Forum text gets fuzzy/blurry to an extent.

 

What did you expect to happen?

No fuzzy text.

 

Link to a page where it happened, if applicable: 

N/A

 

Screenshots of the issue, if applicable: 

See the username and topic title is kind of fuzzy but not anything else.

Any other relevant details:

I've never figured this out and it's happened even on pretty new installs of Windows 10 so I'm not 100% sure if it's a forum bug, Firefox issue, Windows 10 weirdness, or what exactly.

 

If it's a cloudflare error, what was the ray ID from the bottom of the error page?

Some content is just so bad that you are just tearing up, I would suggest leaving a tissue closeby when you browse :)

Lol, well I did some digging and someone suggested turning off hardware acceleration on Firefox.

Going to give that a shot :)

 

Edit:

Turned back on hardware acceleration but after unchecking the Use Recommended Performance Settings. That seems to be working but I'll give it a couple hours.

 

Edit 2:

This does not seem to have fixed it. Will give a spin with hardware acceleration completely off.
