about:config ?
Yes, I just had a look in there, it seems only to have the settings applied in Edit->Preferences, there's nothing for Firefox's 'internal' fonts as far as I can see.
After beginning to think I was seeing things I finally found a solution, it's to do with what's in (or not in) .fonts.config. In my case it was preventing Firefox from using the same hints and aliasing that the Gnome defaults use. The fix was to remove ~/.fonts.config and ~/.fontcache (not sure if this was actually necessry) and then to do:-
sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10* sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
Now the fonts *everywhere* in Firefox look as good as those everywhere else.
