for me it works with this:
create ~.fonts.conf
Code:<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <!-- /etc/fonts.conf file to configure system font access --> <fontconfig> <!-- Antialias --> <match target="font"><edit mode="assign" name="antialias"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match>
Well, that solution is nice, it definitely turns the antialiasing in Firefox completely off, but that's not what I wanted. I just want to lower down the antialiasing to the level I use everywhere else in Gnome (optimized for LCD with full hinting).

you can change the settings in the "details" of your fonts...

Sorry, I don't know whom you were referring to, but in case it was me, then you quite missed the point. My settings in Gnome are just fine, no need to adjust, but they don't apply to Firefox. I must try some ways other people posted, and keep asking if it doesn't work...

I found a guide (http://www.webupd8.org/2009/07/fix-f...nd-ubuntu.html) on the internet that worked for me.
Make a .fonts.conf file in your home directory, and add these lines in it:That makes Firefox use full hinting, and it seems to be optimized for LCD.Code:<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" > <const>rgb</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" > <const>hintfull</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> </fontconfig>
I haven't tried the terminal part of the guide because I don't know if it's safe, someone please check it.

Yes this is very annoying, however pasting this into terminal will fix it and you don't need to create some custom configuration file
sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10*
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
Okay, I didn't read the guide properly, they were 2 different fixes to the problem. They both work.
