    Hello,

    after installing KB2670838 this morning, W7 64-bit booted in "test mode". Had to use instructions from other thread to remove watermark at bottom right corner. Weird....


    Cheers,

    I installed this update today and it's definitely done something strange to the text rendering on Firefox 19.

    Take a look at this screen from the BBC News website.

    Platform Update (KB2670838) for windows 7-firefox-grab.png

    Notice the text in the middle and on the top right hand side column. If you click on the browser or scroll up or down the text rights itself, but then another part goes wrong

    I've also seen it also here, on the MS website when I was reviewing the info about the update and on my iGoogle homepage. I'm going to see if it's affected any other apps.

    FYI - I'm running a laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470

    I had to uninstall.

    Using IE9 with no toolbars.
    Would not connect to any web site.
    Everything is back to normal now.

    At least it uninstalled with no residual damage.

    Having just done a check I'm pretty certain the update has affected a Firefox add-on rather than Firefox itself. I restarted with add-ons disabled and the rendering looked normal to me. Also IE9, Chrome, Opera and Maxthon 3 are all as you'd expect.

    So I now have to go through the process of finding the add-on at fault.

    Ok, I think I've found the add-on. It appears to be Classic Compact Options 16.0.1

    I'll do some double checking and then consider contacting the developer. If it comes down to it though I wouldn't be upset to see it disabled as it's not something like Adblock Plus or Tab Utilities which I consider essential.

    Apologies for the triple post in a row, however this is interesting for Firefox users. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812695

    Obviously been aware of it for some time before the update rolled out to all users.

    What it doesn't explain is why I don't see the issue after disabling a specific add-on. Curious.

    Edit - Turning off hardware acceleration in Firefox also fixes my/the issue.

    Just installed the Platform Update and IE10 (over the earlier IE10RC/Update combo) and everything OK so far.
    Now to check the other browsers :)

    Just clean-installed a system (SP1) and started the updates - was immediately offered IE10 rather than IE9. It's downloading now (VERY early in the update sequence) so it'll be interesting to see what falls apart :)

    I take it back- all 3 computers that i put it in are behaving funky when using ie9, keeps crashing when it is looking for an add on- then locks up
    So I uninstalled the update and all is fine now
    and 7 of my clients are seeing the same problems and worse so i remotely logged onto their computers and removed the update too- all is fine on those too
    Was this an update for ie10?
    I now unchecked this update since it is an important not a critical update

    It's one of the pre-requisite updates for IE10, as I understand it.
