Steps to reproduce:

Type text in search bar, or open hamburger menu


Actual results:

text is rendered with grayscale antialiasing, with what looks to be the same hinting level as subpixel antialiased text


Expected results:

text should use subpixel antialiasing, or strong hinting should be used

Bookmark entries, tooltips etc. all look fuzzy.

proably duplication of bug 1303570

    
    

    
  
It's probably a duplicate of bug #1303570, which is fixed started in 52.0a1 (2016-09-30)
so closing this bug as dupe.
If someone can still reproduce the issue, reopen this bug.
