i have no problems with chrome but when I pull up some of the websites that have no problem loading up in chrome on firefox I get those half-cut codeblocks, not sure how to fix this, any advice would be deeply appreciated!
these are my font settings in firefox 
Hi @Mmshukla21,
I use Firefox, thatās all I use, and I have no such problems. The are my Firefox font settings if you wish to try:
I tried those settings, made everything default but have a look at this, this is how it renders codeblocks for me 
And yet, mine is perfectly fine.
Have you tried a new, clean profile?
Have you tries turning off any plugins?
Ergh.
The last thing I can recommend is that you check your system fonts:
If itās not that, I am all out of ideas.
AFAIK itāll be the following:
pamac remove firefox
mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.backup
pamac install firefox --overwrite='*'
And set everything up again.
You could also just exit Firefox, (re)move tyhe config, and restart Firefox. Should have the same effect.
If you encounter any problems, you can just restore the backup:
cp ~/.mozilla.backup ~/.mozilla
If not, feel free to delete the old, faulty directory:
rm -fr ~/.~/.mozilla.backup
Note:
This is going to cause your Firefox to be completely reset, so no auto-logins, extensions, themes, saved passwords, or anything else custom will be kept.
I have backed up passwords and bookmarks
itās already in the home directory

reinstalled firefox still getting the same error
Just a few ideas that popped up in my head while reading the thread.
From the world of typography, I would call this error wrong font size for the desired line spacing, almost as if there was a setting to, e.g. like in LibreOffice Writer, adjust line spacing to be smaller than the font size used, at which time the letters will interfere with the line above them. They sort of clash into one another, or, as in this case, they get cut off. Is there such a setting in Firefox, maybe? (Which, by the way, used to be abbreviated Fx, is it still?) Perhaps under the infamous about:config. In there is a setting ādom.textMetrics.fontBoundingBox.enabledā, mine says āfalseā, could be worth a try checking in there, not sure itāll change anything for you, but perhaps you will find other, more useful things. Be careful, though! Donāt willy nilly double-click on things, the settings may change if you do.
Either that, or if some plug-in has done something with CSS/JavaScript (Tampermonkey/Stylus, etc.), or is there a default CSS document which is always loaded? Not sure if thatās even a thing.
BTW, you have tried changing to a different font, right?
Good luck!
Post scriptum
Have you tried zooming out?
didnāt work, I donāt wanna wipe my entire operating system just for this 
Are you using any type of scaling in KDEās display settings?
nope I am not
posted this everywhere, havenāt got any reasonable answer yet
So to summarize so far:
Fresh Firefox profile (default settings, no extensions)
No scaling or DPI settings configured in KDE
Only happens with Firefox (no other browser)
Changing the fonts makes no difference
Zooming in and out makes no difference
Is that correct?
yes it is
Youāre using an Intel GPU? Can you post the system specs?

yes youāre correct, im using an intel gpu
I doubt this will work (but it should be done regardless for performance and stability):
Remove the package xf86-video-intel and install the package intel-media-sdk, then reboot.
Also, can you post the contents of /etc/X11/ before you do anything else?
ls -lR /etc/X11/
After rebooting, if it still has the same issue with Firefox, there might be a particular setting in Firefox that is the culprit, even on a fresh profile.
