Anti-aliasing needs a firebird built with Xft support.  Since
linux-mozillafirebird doesn't depend on libXft (the Linux version, of
course), it will not show anti-aliased fonts.  Try out a GTK+-2.2
application, and see what that yields.  Alternatively, download one of
the GTK+-2/Xft versions from mozilla.org.
