Firefoxyness
I had intentions of writing a long, Hicksian diatribe about Firefox. I’ve realized he’s covered it all better than I could.However, I’ll add in this small bit.
Firefox, using a processor-optimized build, defaults to not smoothing fonts below a certain value on OSX (I believe it’s 8px). After suffering and attempting to fix this through disabling fonts in the OS, I found the following information.
Quit Firefox.
Create or open your user.js file. Add to it the following lines:
//Control font smoothing
user_pref("browser.quartz.enable.all_font_sizes", true);
Start Firefox. Ugliness gone.
Celebrate.
