> fonts

Chrome has a bunch of bugs related to font-rendering on Windows, e.g. https://crbug.com/414307. I'm not sure why switching to DirectWrite didn't just fix these bugs, but subjectively appearance-wise on Windows, Firefox > Edge > Chrome.

okay.

To me it seemed like the input font here on HN could need a bit more hinting in FF.

It's actually configurable by the user. I like having it on the side, so I added it back.

Mozilla is experimenting with which default is preferred by fresh install users right now, so users on this thread may have different initial defaults. I don't think that there are plans to change the default for existing users.

How? I was looking for this last week and couldn't find any settings that worked. Nothing relevant in about:config, and the toolbar customization shows the search bar there until I close customization.

They actually very recently added a preference for this: https://dolske.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/searchprefs.png?w...

Go to customize mode and hover your mouse pointer on the search bar. You'll notice that your mouse pointer turns into a hand, then just drag the search bar and drop it into the center of the screen (blank space).

(Tested on Firefox 55.0.2/Linux)

Cheers. :)

This is an issue on my Arch Linux laptop, but not at work using Ubuntu. Both run Firefox nightly. Been going nuts with this issue!

I have it on my Windows7 machine with Firefox Nightly, but not on Chrome.

Works on my Arch …
