Random bold text in Firefox 2?

[chengt]

I get random bold text when I view sites using Firefox 2 on my macbook pro.
I'm currently on FF 2.0.0.4 but this has been happening in all the 2.x line. I haven't tried this with FF 1.x so I don't know if this was always an issue.
Has anyone noticed this before?

I'm putting a screen shot to show what it looks like.
Notice how the right side seems bold and a bit blurrier?
This happens quite alot.
They go away when you resize the screen or drag your mouse over it (highlighting words that are effected). I can't seem to figure out what is causing this.

Hi,

Yeah I WAS running Firefox 2 on my iMac and MacBook and had the weird bold texts appear in various web sites. In particular was Google search results, I went through all of Firefox's preferences to check to see if I had missed a setting or altered something, no luck.

Solution: Use Safari 3.0 Beta. Memory juicy but if your running 1GB of RAM+ than your sweet.

Cheers,

I would but I use google sync to sync bookmarks and settings across firefox browsers.

Same thing happens for me on my Mac Pro. I'm assuming it's a Firefox issue. Mildly annoying, but I'm hoping that it gets fixed in Firefox 3 later this year.

Its bloody annonying, try viewing this on a small screen resolution. It blows. I'm sorry Firefox but dare I say I would rather use IE than Firefox as this bold text thing was really ticking me off. Oh well, thank god for Safari.

Something tells me that Firefox 2.1 is just around the corner......
