Link Text wrong color(s) in Firefox

920 views Asked by At

Ok, weirdest thing....

Working at home and opened html document in Firefox 3.6 and my link text is wrong colors and looks multi-colored.

Any ideas?

Looks fine in IE, Chrome, Opera and Firefox 3.6 on my work machine. I mean the difference is shockingly bad.enter image description here

In this graphic the numbers in parenthesis should be simple light gray (#999) and the link text should be blue (#034ea2). But as you can see its all gone odd, green and yellow and forget the hover states... I am using percentage sizes on the text via CSS - but that shouldn't do this, should it?

This machine does differ from my normal work machine, but I don't think it's a windows setting as the colors look fine in other browsers.

This seems like an old IE problem - so it's freakin me out that good ole FF is doing it to me.

Any ideas?

Windows Cleartype was the problem. Must have been reset on my home machine by any number of Windows updates I've had in the last week. Thanks Joshusman! Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest fixes to find.

What you probably need is CSS Pseudo Classes

Try turning off ClearType in Windows, in case this is some weird subpixel rendering problem.
