Browser / Version: Firefox 133.0 Operating System: Linux Tested Another Browser: Yes Other

Problem type: Something else Description: Text is very blurry. Steps to Reproduce: Text is very blurry. It is rendered correctly at first, and then it is as if a veil is pulled over the rendered image.

I don't use GMaps that often but I never noticed this with FF 130.0b9 and earlier.

An embedded-Chromium based browser and a WebKit based browser (Epiphany 4.x from Flatpak) show the same 2-pass rendering phenomenon but there text crispness gets a bit better (though remains blurry).

We appreciate your report. I was not able to reproduce the issue following the steps to reproduce

Tested with:

Browser / Version: Firefox Beta 133.b7 (64-bit) Operating System: Ubuntu 22.4 LTS x64

Suggestion: Try clearing cache/data/cookies, disabling add-ons and Ad-blocker (if available) and extensions or use a clean profile, and check again? If there are any changes made to the default settings of the browser (e.g. in about:config) please revert to the default settings and try again. Also, have the required cookies been accepted for this page?

Here's a snapshot comparing the rendering in a stock profile (only modified to use a real/proper window titlebar) with the rendering in a private window of my main session (so without extensions).

I assume the labels in the map display use webfonts and they're clearly rendered much fuzzier in my main session.

Any idea what custom setting in about:config could be the culprit here? Annoyingly "show modified settings only" includes a long list of settings that seem to be modified automatically (e.g. with timestamps) so I cannot easily see which ones I changed myself over the years. The 2 antialias settings and the 2 smoothing settings are identical in the 2 profiles.
