After upgrading to firefox 3.6.6, some fonts seem to display incorrectly. They look rough and almost rastered. Noticeable on the "Firefox Upgraded" page, in the heading text: "Choose Your Persona", "More Ways To Personalise" etc.

You can enable ClearType system wide for all programs to make other programs like Firefox use it.

Vista: Control Panel > Personalization > Window Color and Appearance > Effects: "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts" XP: Control Panel > Display > Appearance > Effects: "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts"
