Different font rendering in Gnome and Firefox Edit (251.1 KiB, image/png)

Does it looks like this (attachment - nautilus windows is for comparison)? Firefox doesn't respect font settings set in Gnome. It only worked in 9.04 with Firefox 3.0 (if I remember correctly). It's annoying because the change of font rendering style is the first thing i do after installation. Standard font settings looks to blurry on most LCDs.

There is a bug on bugzilla.mozilla.org (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536816) but nothing is happening there.
