Whats it say in Tools -> options -> content ->fonts and colours? Mine is set to times new roman and 16 and its fine for me.

Also I think there are add-ons (Tools -> add-ons ) that improve the look of Firefox.

I think he may mean cleartype?

Although I hate it and immediately turn it off.

It's what's ON in IE, not in FF. I don't know if you can turn it on in FF but you can turn it on in your display properties.
