This looks like a poorly-hinted (or unhinted) font, being displayed without antialiasing, and the glyph shapes just don't rasterize at all well. The closing parenthesis isn't the only poorly-rasterized glyph in the screenshot; the opening brace is quite bad, and some letters (see "A" and "x") are rough too.

I don't think this is really a Firefox bug; it's a poorly-configured font setup; the solution is to either choose a different monospaced font, or different font rendering settings in the desktop environment.

Yes, you're right. I changed the font from "Monserat" to "monospace". Everything is displayed correctly. I'm just surprised that it is displayed correctly in "Opera".

It's not a bug. It can be closed.

Based on comment 2 I will close this as worksforme.
Thanks.
