Steps to reproduce:

Upgraded Firefox as suggested by Firefox. Most probably to version 31 or later. 


Actual results:

Serif (?) fonts have now jagged edges and are barely readable on smaller sizes. 


Expected results:

Text on web pages would be at least as readable as with previous version of Firefox.

This bug is actually probably introduced by Microsoft with its OS security update for kb3013455. Then partially fixed by patch kb3037639. Not all affected MS OSs have the issue resolved (eg MS POSReeady2009).

Is that cause still correct?  The we should close this bug.

Closing this bug due to lack of response. Please reopen if this is still an issue in the current Firefox release.

IMHO can be closed since it's not an issue anymore, probably due to fixes in Firefox or by Microsoft in its OS.
