Hello,

My firefox and google chrome displays are totally different. In my new laptop, firefox shows the titles in bold. Shows different elements in bold while in google chrome it works fine.

I tried google and I tried all the tutorials about changing about:config but nothing worked.

One solution worked for me: Change compatibility mode to windows xp 2 which made firefox display like google chrome but then FF crashed several times in websites using java, etc..

Is there a solution for my problem?

Please look at the attached.

For me it's the exact opposite I prefer Firefox's text compared to chrome. It's how they're rendered, both browsers use different rendering systems. If it really bothers you, you could disable Hardware Acceleration


Go to Tools->Options | Advanced | General tab | Uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available".

Haha, will you believe this if I tell you? I tried this before but I didn't close the browser.

Now I saw it again here when you mentioned it and I told to myself let's restart FF.

Now it's working brilliantly :D

Thanks a lot :D
