Title:
  Firefox does not apply the system-wide font settings

Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Firefox does not use the system-wide settings of fonts' auto-hinting, anti-aliasing, etc.
  You have to do these steps in order to fix it:

  Basically, in Terminal, you should enter:

  "gksudo nautilus"
  Find:
  "/etc/fonts/conf.d"

  Then, delete the three files that start with a 10.

  Once deleted, close the Terminal, open it back up, and key in:
  "sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig"

  Once you restart Firefox, you should see an improvement in the font
  rendering.
