Firefox font rendering

hello everyone,
i haven't been using arch for a few years so i decided to give shot.
After installation fonts looked nice with freetype2-infinality and suggested configuration. I had to reinstall my system. Installed kernel26-ck and catalyst-test also freetype2-infinality.
Now fonts in firefox doesn't look nice to me. Rendering is different from gnome applications. It looks like without subpixel font hinting. I am not sure.

Firefox:

Re: Firefox font rendering

Go into preferences, content, advanced font setting. I think what you're lacking is a good font.

Compiling xulrunner-system-cairo solved the problem.
