I just did the switch from chrome to Firefox. And the text is really bugging me. It's way to sharp in some areas (Example Included)

So i just made the move from Chrome to Firefox , because of the new update and it looks great. The performances are awesome. But one thing is bugging me really hard. Its the Firefox text its waay to sharp and nothing like chrome here are two pictures to see what i am talking about:

As you can see chrome text is more smooth and waay easier on the eyes. While Firefox one looks really sharp and bad in comparison. I really would like to start using Firefox instead of Chrome but this one thing is holding me back from doing it. Is there any Extension or Setting to be changed to make the text look better like on Chrome. The comparison i did was twitch.tv chat . Where on chrome it looks nice while on Firefox it hurts on the eyes. Same goes with some other websites like Reddit for example. I just wish the text is more smooth and bold. Other hard sharp.

Chrome uses its own libraries and settings while Firefox uses your system settings. You need to configure ClearType on Windows.
