A couple of things.

First, do you have ClearType turned off at the system level? Firefox doesn't have it's own version of ClearType built in, unlike IE which will apply ClearType even if you turn it off at the system level.

Second, Firefox sometimes displays ugly fonts if it is incompatible with your graphics card drivers. The workaround is to disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration. Here's how:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced

On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"

This takes effect after you exit and restart Firefox.

Any difference?
