Prerequisites

  • The issue persists when using Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode.
  • The issue persists after I disabled DNS-level content blocking (PiHole, NextDNS, etc.), cleared DNS cache, and tried to use ISP's DNS resolver (if applicable).
  • The issue persists after I cleared website data and restarted Firefox.
  • I have created a new, clean profile. The issue persists after adding the user.js, but it is not reproducible in a new, unedited Firefox profile.

Bug description

This issue DOES NOT persist with Troubleshoot mode since that resets the problematic about:config override in question. I only checked above box to get this issue reported. Do remove that checkbox since it should not be a valid criterion to submit an issue here.

Text in google docs is displaying strangely and garbled. I changed the following to back to it's default value and it is working now.

I changed the following value back to its default and it is working fine:
