I'm not quite sure what that means. If you're suggesting that I
rebuild firefox and its dependencies I just got done rebuilding all my
ports after the shlib bump in -current, so I'm not sure that would
help. If someone wants to make a more specific suggestion that would
be ok.

I'm not sure it should matter, but I am using 3.5.2 on openbox.

It hadn't occurred to me to check how it renders in windows, but
you're right, compared to how it renders in windows something in my
freebsd firefox is seriously disturbed.

If no answer is immediately forthcoming here I'll follow up on -ports.
