User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0
Build ID: 20150326190726

Steps to reproduce:

1. Fresh install FF 37.0 on Windows 7 64-bit (Intel HD Graphics 3000)
2. Visit http://tinyurl.com/lctbj7j
3. Check fonts antialiasing and readability
4. Click Menu button in toolbar > click Customize > rearrange the buttons in the bar
5. Exit customization and reload the webpage
6. Check font antialiasing and readability again


Actual results:

As soon as you exit customization, the fonts become jagged and hard to read. Lower case "e" looks like a "c" and most round letters have pixels missing. Replacing prefs.js with a previously saved clean prefs.js did not resolve the issue. Only completely removing FF and installing it fresh fixes it, until you customize again.




Expected results:

FF toolbar customization should have no effect on website content.
See attached screenshots.
In case the "non-system" part isn't clear I'd like to specify this only happens with remote fonts. Also, the issue doesn't reproduce on OS X.
