From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just switched from Ubuntu 23.10 to Debian 12 (using X11) if that helps. I didn't have this problem in Ubuntu.

Are you using Firefox within a flatpak perchance ?

There seems to be a bug to it relating to use of bitmap fonts, you can fix the issue by disabling them via a config file in firefox's fonts: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621915

I have a similar problem, but on Lemmy.zip (Lemmy.world looks fine). However, I am running Fedora Kinoite (immutable), where Firefox is not installed as Flatpak.
