Hello, folks,
I have some trouble with Firefox that pops up intermittently. Basically
what happens is that font rendering goes all wacky all of a sudden and
I'm not sure where to go to fix it. Unfortunately, Google results seem
to be vague and dealing with other issues and changing the DPI and
hinting settings changes nothing. As a matter of fact, changing font
settings in Gnome seems to have no effect on Firefox at all! However,
Firefox becomes okay when I restart it.
Meanwhile, Epiphany renders everything fine.
Here's a screenshot to show you what I'm talking about:

monitors. Anyway, I prefer the fonts on the right to the ones on the
left. This is what text looks like in Firefox after restarting it alone:

The websites are: <http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility> and
<http://wiki.tiker.net/PyCuda/ShowCase> but it occurs on others.
Additional information:
1. Firefox 3.0.18 on Ubuntu 9.04
2. Nvidia 8400M GS with proprietary drivers
Any idea?
