The pref has been renamed to "gfx.webrender.force-legacy-layers" -- can you try that?

It's unlikely this is fixable on our side, webrender bugs are Firefox bugs, and there are plenty of open ones in the Core/Graphics: Webrender component.

You can create the perference. Paste gfx.webrender.force-legacy-layers into the config editor and click the plus sign

I added "gfx.webrender.force-legacy-layers" and set it to true, but nothing changed, thank you for the tips anyway, i guess is something that can only be solved by the developers, they should remove this antialias effect or at least re-enable the option that worked very well like in the previous version.

The option gfx.webrender.force-legacy-layers does not exist in the Mozilla platform. It was introduced as a temporary replacement for gfx.webrender.force-disabled in Gecko 92 and removed again in Gecko 93. Since Gecko 93 you have to set gfx.webrender.software to true to disable hardware WebRender.

Thank you for the info, no effect whatsoever, seems is indeed something unrleated to the webrender but is the layout that is completely changed. Only devs can add an option to chose between new layout or old. This is a bit annoying since is more hard to read such new small and blurried characters, but i can live with it, fortunately only the account menù on the left is affected. Thanks all for the tips, maybe something can change with the next releases and the devs decide to add more layout options.

On a side note, another layout issue is the text highlight with left mouse selection, it do not change color, is still transparent like i do not select anything even if i do, is a bit confusing sometimes, there is a way to change the highlight color of mouse selection? Thank you.
