Package: firefox-esr
Version: 52.1.0esr-1~bpo80+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I was using iceweasel (or was it named firefox?) from mozilla backports, and
after installing firefox-esr 52 (after migration from "iceweasel" to "firefox")
I noticed that some sites has jagged font.

github.com and forums.debian.net comes as examples with missing anti-aliasing,
meanwhile wikipedia.org font looks OK.

I have not yet discovered other application that has similar issues. Using KDE
desktop.

I have attached screenshot snippet from github.com page using firefox-esr 45
from jessie/main, and firefox-esr 52 from jessie-backports/firefox-esr.
