jrmuizel asked me to file this while we were investigating bug 974607.

At least on Australis, it looks like selected tabs with favicons get subpixel AA, but selected tabs without favicons do not.

See screenshot.
At least on Firefox Beta, we seem to use subpixel AA for every tab, regardless of whether or not they have favicons or are selected.
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.

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