Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

With Ubuntu Hardy beta + latest updates (15th April 2008) I suffer from bad image rendering quality in Firefox.
To see the type of problem just open the attached screenshot and scale to 100%.

The images that are blurred are razor sharp if I do a right click -> view image so it is perhaps a problem related to
image scaling.

The problem appears only with my laptop - so perhaps it is not a bug in Firefox but elsewhere (X-windows??/intel-driver??).
The laptop has a 3-year old Centrino-Platform uses 915 intel driver and has a lcd monitor with 1400x1050 resolution.

The rendering problem appears independent of the Desktop-Effects are on/off. So it does not seem to be a problem with
compiz.

p.s. Also the text in the Gnome-terminal is somewhat blurred (compared with e.g. text in Gedit)
p.s. The same homepage renders nicely on my desktop computer with a 1280x1045 and the ati-driver.

Don't hesitate to ask for more information.
