The hardware acceleration makes the fonts render in a different way. Anyone else experiencing this?
I honestly didn't notice a difference, but then I don't use Firefox very often any more.Quote:

Maybe i just need to get used to it.
It makes the entire screen look too bright, i want to modify my monitor brightness just for web browsing. :surprised:
Also what is with the red zit in the top left of the screen, the designer should be shot. It looks like a panic button. While on the subject i'm not sure i like the new menu design either, i guess they are going for the Windows 7 / Office 2010 compatible feel, which tbh Mozilla should hang their heads in shame for. Conformity in a web browser not to my liking, i don't want all my apps to look the same..
I don't like it. I just don't like it.:yucky:
I've not used any of the betas, but if this makes the experience better or quicker, then I'm all for it.Quote:

I don't care about Joe Average. I want an app that does things to the best they can be done, and if this helps, I'm happy to go through the pain process to get to a better end.
