I don't know. I thought it was doing it outside of my browser too, but after playing with Firefox font settings, everything seems okay? Sort of? It doesn't look normal but it doesn't look all borked. I unchecked "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" in Firefox settings. For some reason, every website is broken with that on. I feel like I just put a bandaid on the problem that will creep back up with problems in the future. Desktop  Laptop  Now I just want the font to look darker like how it looks on my laptop. I can barely read posts on SA on my desktop, especially with longer paragraphs. So I'd a way to get Firefox to display font properly when I allow websites to choose their own fonts.

It seems to me like your fonts aren't being smoothed. Back when I switched from Win2k to WinXP I used to turn smoothing off because I wasn't used to it (silly looking back on that now) and un-smoothed web pages basically looked liked your screenshot to me. Have you tried Windows' settings here? https://www.isunshare.com/windows-10/choose-whether-to-smooth-edges-of-screen-fonts-in-windows-10.html

After years of intermittently browsing HoTS, I've finally solved a problem  I don't know why repairing a hard drive did that, though.
