I do see a difference between the two renderings in the screenshot, most notably with diacritics. However, I don't seem to be able to reproduce it here (tested on Wikipedia pages).

Reporter: can you post some public URL that show the issue for you ?

Problem found. There was a Windows font presented in OS X. FF 6 render Windows font (Tahoma) instead of OS X system font (Thonburi)
