the old version was beautiful, the new one is great in every way apart from the fonts look like they used to on linux,- that weird half-baked font smoothing.

any ideas?

Kind regards

In KDE I did, but not in GNOME.

I don't have it because mozilla decides 64bit users don't need tracemonkey, one of the few things that makes it worth it.
