Steps to reproduce:

I'm experiencing the same erroneous behavior after upgrading from v78.14.0. Folder and message list pane now show anti-aliased fonts. Message pane is not affected.

Exactly the same problem here. Fonts are jagged and blurry after updating to 91. Please fix it, I'm having a really hard time reading anti-aliased fonts.

Last TB version that is fully respecting ClearType settings on Windows 10 is v68.12.1, see here:

I am still using this version because I really hate ClearType!

I tested the latest TB version (v91.10.0), it is still not respecting ClearType settings on all controls! :(
See here:

(The controls marked with red are using CearType.)

I reported this bug 2 years ago (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1679528),
but nothing happened, it was not even confirmed! :(

Please fix this! I would like to use the latest version, but I do not want to see any ClearType texts.
