Auto updates...

Post by MozillaMonkey »

I started TB just now and it did an auto update.

The update messed up the fonts. It's all blurry now!
How do I revert to previous version of TB?

Strange, it said auto-updating when it started.
I just checked the updates and it says the last update was Aug 19.

Something happened because all text is now blurry on the screen!

Does the same thing occur if you launch the application in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

Thanks for helping Dan!

Yes, I just tried Safe Mode and the same thing occurs.

The effect is dramatic when I open Firefox and have both windows side by side.

Something changed the font resolution/fuzziness.

I just went into Fonts and saw:

Cambria
Calibri
Consolas

I don't know what it was before the update (anyone know?),
but I changed it to all Calibri and it has improved.

Something still isn't quite right, but it's better.

More info on this 'update'.
Every post/reply in the newsgroups had the same font before.
Now a whole bunch of different ones are popping up in replies.

I take back my 'improvement' post.
It's marginal at best.
Something still is not right.

It's not my eyes, because I can put TB and Firefox or another program side by side and see the difference.

TB updated to 52.3.0 on Aug 19
It was on 52.1.1 on Jun 6

Can I downgrade to 52.1.1?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! :)

I read the suggested fixes and tried the first ones.
And they worked!

Everything is back to normal again.
