In Windows 10 Insider build when I load https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/desktop/fast/ the text in headings isn't antialiased Windows 7 build actually looks better, Edge doesn't suffer from this issue either.

This impacts stable and nightly and has been this way since I started using insider builds a few months ago.
