Has the blurry fonts issue been fixed in the latest Firefox release? I disabled it back when FF4 came out due to the very obvious font blurring, but have just renabled it and it looks much better, no noticeable blurring.

I prefer to leave it enabled as scrolling through web pages seems smoother and there's no screen tearing. Are there any other issues with using hardware acceleration, like incorrectly rendered webpages?
 
No it's all working correctly, although people seem to have finally gotten used to the blurry font, just google it. People are trying to make it blurry again :D

Feels much smoother. If you wanted it smoother still you could try the x64 nightly builds. X64 is on the road map for official release this year with java x64 and flash x64 (beta) available things are looking good :)
