ok since updating to firefox 6 I'm having problems with the horrible cleartype font showing up on some web pages and flash apps and big bold words. I never had this problem with firefox 5 and want to go back to it but the only older version I can find is 3.6.20 I hate cleartype fonts and want to go back to firefox 5 :(

This article has some suggestions for fixing bad-looking fonts: Fonts look blurry

There are also some improvements coming in Firefox 7, which is currently available for testing on the Aurora channel. (It will be released to the beta channel in a few days, and will become the new stable release six weeks from now.)

If you're interested in the technical details, this article has some in-depth information and some more preferences you can tweak.
