I just changed from Internet Explorer to Firefox, and my screen view is terrible. The text is thin, and not very legible. Is there a setting that needs to be changed? This is in gmail, the screen I am viewing now in Firefox, and comcast. Does not seem to be a problem with Word documents ( not internet)

You can enable ClearType system wide for all programs to make other programs like Firefox use it.

XP: Control Panel > Display > Appearance > Effects: "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts"
