Fonts rendering problem

I want to fonts look like in other browsers (chromium based). So i've found that in about:config there is parameter called gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode and if i change value to any from -1 to 5, fonts get what i want, but this works until i restart browser. 

It looks like firefox changes this parameter to default (-1) every launch even if there still my own (i use 5).

For example i changed gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode to 5. Fonts start to look good and if i restart browser fonts still look like if gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode on -1 when there is still 5.

That is strange because if i change any other setting in about:config no matter which exactly this parameter turns on again.

So if i want to render mode on 5 i just need to turn any settings on about:config after every time i launch browser. And that looks like a problem.
