User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0 Build ID: 20130104151948 Steps to reproduce: Viewing Facebook. Actual results: Text is of poor quality (not smoothly rendered) in the default font that Facebook uses. This was not an issue with FF17. I downloaded it to compare and have taken screen shots. I'm running OS X 10.6.8. Expected results: Text should look nice.
When zooming into the attached png files it seems that there's issues with the sub-pixel rendering. In 17 you can see it's being done in color. In 18 it's not.
Do you mean bug 828206 ?
Yes, looks exactly like Bug 828206.
