Problem URL: multiple sites
Browser theme (if not default):
Installed add-ons:
Installed plugins: (about:plugins): UBlock origin legacy
I have issues with websites in Hebrew, as they seem to be distorted / fuzzy / blurry. Some sites work in perfect font while others don't.
See images below for reference:
Normal font-working site: https://ibb.co/7d0XtvxT
Abnormal font site #1: https://ibb.co/DfFft6m5
Abnormal font site #2: https://ibb.co/JRCr1hmm
Thank you for all your help!

Have you changed Font's & Colors in Content, Preferences? Or disabled Hardware Acceleration under Advanced, Preferences? Or mucked around in About:Config?

Looks like OP's system is not using ClearType; small truetype fonts can, in that case, become "greek" more quickly and dropping pixels.
I suggest enabling ClearType in your system settings for better font clarity system-wide (subpixel antialiasing is strongly recommended to be used on current monitor technologies anyway).

Or you can try to block remote fonts with uBlock Origin... It's not Hebrew-specific problem, many downloadable fonts require some kind of anti-aliasing.

That might actually prevent hebrew from being displayed completely (depending on what the fallback font is/how it's configured by the website).
