Okay well we have 2 different bug reports in 1 then, doh. Also dont post updates to the initial post because the whole point in adding comments is to retain the timeline. Now everyone reading the bug report is going to wonder why you installed an old version of fontconfig-config when they haven't read the comments yet. Honestly I have not had any issues with firefox except for the fontconfig problem which is a global issue (it handles rendering of pretty much every font however its effects on GTK are minimal compared to QT).
