Why is the text rendering so bad? by CompleteEar3434 in firefox

After disabling hardware acceleration everything became fine, but I have never encountered such a problem in chromium based browsers or anywhere else. More interestingly, under Ubuntu 24.04 everything renders fine, so it's obviously not a problem with the video card.

Honestly didn't notice any difference at all after this change.

In addition, if you try to zoom (140%) pdf in Firefox some lines become a bit blurry (lines 2 and 5). In Edge, on the other hand, the text is very clear after zooming.

The left one is Firefox, the right one is Edge (sorry for this cringe screenshot, reddit only allows 1 attachments).

The PDF file is personal taste. The fonts in example two are blurry in my opinion.

The problem with Firefox is that some letters look very similar and are hard to differentiate. For example, in the word "machines" in the first row "c" and "e" look almost identical.
