Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

  asac, ask that I create a new account and observe if the FF 3.5 uses
  the gnome appearance settings, it seems that it doesn't.

  I set my gnome settings to *hint full*.
  http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/9426/74100265.png, FF 3.1 (on the
  right) is hinting correctly.  F 3.5 isn't, it seems to be using *hint
  slight*.  Have a look at the gnome taskbar and the FF 3.5 menu bar the
  renderings clearly aren't the same.

  Is the hinting hardcoded somewhere?
