While using the new Azure-Thebes pref, toggling Hardware Acceleration off causes a crash.

Hmm... Does that go for DirectWrite as well? Fonts look a bit "malnourished".
When I asked Bas about the pref yesterday he stated on IRC:

"<Bas> That's great! fwiw, you'll lack subpixel anti-aliasing in some situations, but that's 'normal' for now."

Also, I've not experienced any crashes after about 30 mins of surfing with HWA 'Off'.
