Blurry graphics using Mac Retina display
Hi,
I never managed to have firefox running nicely with my Macbook pro 15' retina under Mac OX 10.8. It has always been blurry (UI and websites). I tried v18, v19 and resetting all parameters... no luck...
v18 was supposed to bring retina support and I can see I am not the only one in this situation...
Any help? Thanks,

Have you read and tried the suggestions in the recent thread Is there retina display support for new Firefox 19? /questions/950900. Please look at that and say what you have tried.
This is a relatively new feature and does seem to cause some problems. There are some threads about this but not a mass of feedback about blurry screens.

How bad is it, maybe post screen shot of it with retina enabled and disabled
Do you only have a problem when retina is enabled ?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I already had a look at this thread before but it looks like I missed trying changing this setting: gfx.hidpi.enabled. I set the value to 2 and restarted FF and now it's ok, ie graphics look sharp on the retina display.
Definitively a setting that should be defaulted to 2 for mac retina users... if not the user experience is quite bad. I understand this is because there are still some bugs about menus? Any hope for v20 ?
Thanks,
Glad it helped.
As for version 20 that is already out in Beta, but nothing that relates to retina important enough to list here
- http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/20.0beta/releasenotes/
- or in the putative 21 http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/21.0a2/auroranotes/ that is out on the Aurora channel
Please do not post in bugs (etiquette), but there is a listing of some related bugs in this one (The info is not user friendly; and the 300+ comment original bug even less so)
