Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
asac, ask that I create a new account and observe if the FF 3.5 uses the gnome appearance settings, it seems that it doesn't.
I set my gnome settings to *hint full*. http://
Is the hinting hardcoded somewhere?

Screenshot
Firefox 3.0 does something differently with on-screen type. This leads to excessive color fringing in some cases. Please see the attached screenshot (which may not make any sense if you don't use an LCD screen). The upper text is from Firefox 2.0 and the lower is from 3.0b1
