Font issue on Firefox with latest KF5/Plasma

After upgrading to the latest KF5/Plasma (the upgrade went smoothly otherwise, no issues so far), I've a strange font bug on Firefox. It seems all UI fonts (tabs, address/search bar, preferences) are aligned a bit to the top. Like, in CSS terminology, "vertical-align: top" instead of "vertical-align: middle". The difference is not huge, a few pixels, so it's purely a cosmetic issue; but as a web dev, it annoys me a lot, as this is the kind of thing I'd be fixing immediately. This might be a KDE/GTK issue, Firefox is the only GTK program I use with any frequency (actually Gimp too, but I just checked, that looks fine - insofar as Gimp can look fine).  In system settings GTK2 is set to use qt4 theme and GTK3 "Default".  I'm also using infinality-bundle with the default settings. And in about:config I've set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.15 (this is a 1080p/13" screen, the default is too tiny for regular use), but I tried resetting that and it didn't help.

Any ideas what could be causing this? I know it sounds like a petty thing to complain about, but this irritates me way more than it rationally should.

EDIT here's a screenshot if that would be helpful:
