"Mozilla today officially launched Firefox 28 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. Additions include VP9 video decoding, Web notifications on OS X, and volume controls for HTML5 video and audio. Firefox 28 has been released over on Firefox.com and all existing users should be able to upgrade to it automatically. The full release notes are available. As always, the Android version is trickling out slowly on Google Play (Android release notes)."

I've found a new bug.

Some time ago I had a problem where the writing on web pages became distorted and fuzzy, which was very noticeable when you move your mouse around the screen a lot.
Well the bug is back. See my attached image which shows the bug - and it's even in a screenshot.

Way back then a solution is to set the "gfx.content.azure.enabled" setting to false in about:config and which fixed it, but it's still set to false in mine.

Oddly enough it only shows up on Google News for me - LG is fine.

EDIT This is even more bizarre.

It doesn't happen on the main google news page, but it does on the sub category pages like Science/Health/World.
And then the top of the page is fine, I have to scroll down and THEN move the mouse up/down and it occurs.

I found a workaround for this on Bugzilla.

To enable the workaround for this bug:
1) Make sure you're running Firefox 26 or higher
2) Go to about:config
3) Right click anywhere in the content area, create a new Boolean called "layout.paint_rects_separately" (without the quotes) and set it to true
4) Restart the browser

This setting is expected to become the default at some point, but right now it causes some performance regressions.
