Ever since the merge of Australis, the titles of inactive tabs only have grayscale antialiasing instead of the previously used ClearType.

Can you still reproduce the issue in latest stable Firefox version or in latest Nightly?

Yes.

Please attach as attachment here your about:support (use "copy text to clipboard" button) from Nightly.

It's not depending on gfx-card or driver-version.

I wasn't talking about dependency, I was talking about complete information from about:support from Nightly. Could you post it?

I'm asking because it could be fixed in Nightly which contains fixes for bug #1007702 and bug #1303570,
about:support is needed for checking what preferences are modified and backended is used where.

  

  



    
    

    
  
It should be fixed starting from Mozilla Firefox 52 per:
- Skia being enabled by default(Windows - bug #1007702, Linux - bug #1278957, Mac - bug #1207332)
- bug #1303570 (leftovers will be tracked in bug #1307833).

Duping this bug to bug #1307833 to later easier tracking, instead of incomplete or worksforme, because of no reporter reply.

Using Skia doesn't magically make us use sub-pixel AA where we were using grayscale AA. Please test this before concluding that it's fixed.

Maybe you missed, but I also wrote about bug #1303570.
