I use Safari most of the time, but occasionally switch to Firefox for development purposes. There’s always something annoying about Firefox that makes me switch back sharpish. Today’s bugbear: crappy rendering of italic fonts.

I’m wondering about Firefox 3’s rendering of italics. The Linux version doesn’t seem to render any italics at all on Wikipedia which looks very strange, especially on species pages where scientific names are ALWAYS italicized.
Where can this bug be reported?
