I can confirm that setting about:config -> 'layou.css.dpi' to 96 solved my font-rendering problems in FF (and persist in all other Gecko-rendering applications I have installed).

xdpyinfo gives me:
screen #0:
  dimensions: 1680x1050 pixels (300x230 millimeters)
  resolution: 142x116 dots per inch

For the sake of completeness, I assume https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/201032 is the root cause. Or?

(And thanks for the workaround, Alexander -- hero of the day!)
