Until this evening I was using Firefox 36.0.4 as my default browser and everything was OK. After that I was curious to check Firefox 0.10 and installed it which overrides 36.0.4. After playing with 0.10, I again updated it into Firefox 36.0.4 and the problem started here! Some of websites like yahoo are rendering font so badly that I even can't read them. But the point here is I haven't touched any config/option/profile in 0.10, just browsed google to see the interface. That's it. Now can you help me, how I can go back into normal font rendering.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

hi, please create a new profile. i don't think that your existing one may have survived running under a 10 year old firefox - those things are obviously not downwards-compatible: Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles

It's already disabled.

But my current profile has huge amount data, I can't risk them to loose because to be honest I don't trust current sync system completely. Is there any way to restore or something?

And I have created a new profile which is absolutely works fine but how can I recover my previous data? I mean I really need those bookmarks, password, search. Sync is bringing some data but I'm not sure how much it can recover. Is there any manual process?
