I have the same issue in Windows 7, but have not found what exactly causes it. I work around the issue by highlighting the incorrectly rendered text with the mouse.

I've had to do the same, but that seriously degrades my browsing enjoyment...

Any chances it's about hardware acceleration? Uncheck Options>Advanced>Use hardware acceleration when available

I have also had this issue and turning off HW acceleration solved it.

Turning it off did not change the issue for me..

Have you tried FF 30?

Is there a bug report for this? I'm curious to see if I can reproduce.

Do you have an AMD GPU?

Try enabling directwrite via about:config

Try disabling hardware acceleration.

I tried that. No difference..

Did you file a bug?

Yes, please! Many of us Mozilla devs read HN, but HN is not a bug tracker!
