User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1

After updating to the latest AMD drivers I'm getting fuzzy fonts every time I start up the FF. I was getting it sometimes before but just restarting FF helped.
Now I had to downgrade. As I'm upgrading every two releases I'm back to 11.02

Reproducible: Always

I have the same issue. I have a ATI Radeon HD6970 using the latest drivers (11.04).

For me, it seems as I keep moving my mouse over Firefox it gets blurrier and blurrier.

Turning off "Morphological filtering" in the "3D Application Settings" under "Gaming" seems to have fix the issue for me.

This still seems to be broken with the newest 11.05 driver.
Have also tried 11.03 and it still works there.

Hey Miha,
Can you still reproduce this or should we close it?
