I'm currently in the process of moving from Google Chrome to Firefox, and I noticed that the fonts in Firefox are allot more smoother then what they are in Google Chrome, is there anyway to make the Firefox fonts look as sharp as what the fonts are in Google Chrome?

This article has some suggestions for fixing bad-looking fonts: Fonts look blurry

There are also some improvements coming in Firefox 7, which is currently available for testing on the Aurora channel. (It will be released to the beta channel in a few days, and will become the new stable release six weeks from now.)

If you're interested in the technical details, this article has some in-depth information and some more preferences you can tweak.

ClearType is already on.

Firefox 6 has only just came out, so it'll be awhile before Firefox 7 comes out, is there any other ways to make the Firefox fonts sharper when using Firefox 5.0.1?

I use around 10 add-ons, so I don't want to upgrade above 5.0.1 as the majority won't work with Firefox 6.0+

After reading the Anti-Aliasing Tuner's description it seems Firefox 6 has something like this built-in, so seeing as there's only a few add-ons of mine that need updating to work for 6.0, I might just wait a few days and then upgrade to Firefox 6 instead, but thanks anyways!
