So I installed Firefox 6.0 an hour ago. I immediately noticed that text in the browser has become noticeably fainter. I have included a screenshot comparing text in Windows and in Firefox so you can see the difference.
This is definitely not a ClearType tuning issue because system-wide fonts render just as they did before; only Firefox is misbehaving. Anyone know why? My theory is that the Firefox 6.0 install overrode some rendering tweaks I might have made in about:config a few months ago but I don't remember what they were. Any help would be appreciated.
