Letters "halo" when being scrolled?
FF 81.0.2 and the latest Windows 10 update. I'm a long time user of FF and with these two recent up dates I am now noticing a "halo" effect around printed matter when I scroll a page. Specifically, while in the scroll motion, the letters seems to have a white outline around them. When page is stationary, letters are nice and sharp without a hint of halo. BTW, this is not happening with Edge or Chrome or my pdf reader. Anyone care to take a shot at explaining what's happening?

The usual first diagnostic question: Have you tried Safe Mode? That would eliminate any extensions and also disable hardware acceleration to rule that out. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

Could be a multitude of things Win 10 updates have been extremely bad and buggy this year even by Microsofts low standards

Following both your suggestions, made no difference in the haloing effect, unfortunately.DanRaisch wrote:The usual first diagnostic question: Have you tried Safe Mode? That would eliminate any extensions and also disable hardware acceleration to rule that out. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
EDIT:Actually, I unchecked "smooth scrolling" and changed mouse scrolling from 3 lines to 1. Didn't seem to make any difference, though. And, I went back and checked change with Chrome, pdf reader...no problems there. However, I also checked with my email client, Thunderbird, and there is haloing as I scroll the email text???
