I tried turning off hinting:

$ xrdb -query | grep -i Xft
Xft.antialias:  1
Xft.dpi:        86.127930
Xft.hinting:    0
Xft.hintstyle:  hintnone
Xft.rgba:       rgb

And that made /usr/bin/firefox look just like the packages above do. So
it seems that the ones above can't do hinting for some reason. Any
ideas?

Old on the left, new (3 beta2) on the right
