just upgraded to firefox 5 from ff3 (bit late i know), but i thought the text looked different, and upon closer inspection the kerning is much narrower -
I think it looks like ass, almost unreadable. FF3 was much easier to read. Chrome looks ok, but shame chrome doesnt have a bookmarks sidebar (which has been requested a billion times by chrome users).
Im on windows7 btw. Is it cleartype? anyone know how to turn it off in ff5? maybe i should try ff4...

It looks better, like it finally uses kerning pairs info in fonts. The FF3 text seems not kerned at all.
Also, letter shapes look hinted better—like it just started to use hinting info too. Just look at 'e' and how 'B' is rounded and 'k' constructed.
On the other hand, the new 'c' is terrible.

im surprised how many people disagree.
im all for kerning, but when its quite heavy on body text, im not a fan.nevermind. thanks everyone reminding me...forever alone.
