Why you SHOULD be using Firefox

I was right about the font change.

v134.0.2:

v135.0:

Looks the same to me

EDIT: Oh no wait, it looks a bit softer the bottom one!

Yeah I noticed straight away the font has changed - it seems to depend on screen - on my older RGB TN and IPS types it is much clearer than before, on newer display technologies especially those with BGR layout it is less clear than before though not a huge change.

I have an older TN monitor and find the newer font less comfortable to read. To be honest, I thought I had a dodgy cable at first.

Yeah it looks subtle in those images, but save them and flick between them and the difference is night and day to me.

Annoying, to the say the least.

Was going to add, but trying to keep the post from rambling, it isn't consistent - some displays regardless of type seem to work with the font change better or worse.

Just compared it with Vivaldi/Edge, it seems more similar to the way Chromium renders fonts now. Shame as I preferred the sharper look on FF.

Looks like it has indeed changed. A Mozilla employee on Reddit pointed to this being the cause of the changed font rendering: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1942335

A bit hard to tell but seems like they're slowly removing GDI classic rendering in favour of Clear type.

You can do this to roll back but eventually the flags will be gone: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1924346#c2

Well this really annoys me....

Mozilla removed the ability from the browser to send feedback to them about websites not working.

For months now the UK river website has been running super slow. I put it down to them.

However I have just realized the issue isn’t them but Firefox!

It runs super slow, loads incompletely and I have to refresh to get it to load.

And I cant even send them feedback that the website is not working properly in Firefox!

I've still got the Report Broken Site option in my menu, v135.

Interesting. Couldn't find it yesterday in the menu.

If you can’t see the report site option, it means you have turned off data collection and usage option in Firefox previously.
The new site reporter tool requires collecting data and sending it to Mozilla developer team, so if the data collection option is disabled, the new site reporter tool option will not be available.

Ok so I just tried the digital river on a other computer (no shared profile etc) and it does the same thing. Hanging connection then partial load.

I am using Clouflare DNS... I might try Google.
