What's wrong with fonts?
What happened to fonts in version 52? I downloaded today this new update and my eyes hurt. In version 50 it was ok with fonts.

Re: What's wrong with fonts?
Can you post a screenshot?
This could be related with the recent switch in Firefox 52+ from Cairo to Skia for canvas/content rendering.
You can modify these gfx.*.azure.backends prefs on the about:config page to revert to the old font rendering swap the skia,cairo order to cairo,skia or remove the skia and leave cairo.
gfx.canvas.azure.backends = direct2d1.1,cairo,skia
gfx.content.azure.backends = direct2d1.1,cairo,skia
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Re: What's wrong with fonts?
Hi,
I just updated to Firefox ESR 52.2 under Windows Server 2012 and fonts would not print. Print preview was Ok, but the fonts would not appear on the final output.
Modifying the settings as per dickvl instructions has solved the problem.
Thanks.
