Public bug reported: Xubuntu 18.10 and earlier releases Firefox browser 66.0.3 and every earlier version of the Quantum releases
There has been a font display problem on Firefox add-on pages (and a very few other random sites) ever since the Quantum browser was released. I reported this to the Firefox team well over a year ago here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1437338 with periodic follow-up here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1446688 You can see a recent example of the problem here: http://smallthoughts.com/photos/misc/firefox_66_01.png Now, while I'm convinced that this is likely a Firefox problem, I cannot get anyone there to reproduce the problem. So on the chance that it's related to some font glitch on the Ubuntu system, I'm reporting it here to see if anyone can reproduce the problem. If you could load a recent version of Firefox and visit this (or any add-on) page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/autofill- quantum/?src=search and see if you observe what I'm observing, it would be great in helping track down the source of this extremely annoying glitch. BTW, this ONLY happen in Firefox, not in the Chromium or Opera browsers, and it does not happen in Firefox running under Windows 10 in a VM on the same machine. Thanks for any insights as to what might be causing this. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1825249 Title: fonts garbled in firefox browser -- only on certain pages Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Xubuntu 18.10 and earlier releases Firefox browser 66.0.3 and every earlier version of the Quantum releases There has been a font display problem on Firefox add-on pages (and a very few other random sites) ever since the Quantum browser was released.
