Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

After the upgrade to Karmic, the fonts in Firefox look totally different from the rest of the desktop. Smoothing settings are ignored, and the fonts used for webpages are different. Changing the smoothing properties in System->Preferences->Appearance->Fonts tab affects everything except Firefox.
