We have tested cross-browser behavior on most common platform combo’s. Which version of Windows + Firefox are you on? Care to tell what you see more specifically? I know there’s still an unresolved issue with the <picture> element on browsers which don’t support it natively, but the typography (the typeset text that is) should be all fine, is it not?

Here's a screenshot : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2P8VW0o_NjORlNMczdCUEpnQn...

That's FF51/Windows 7 32 bits (thrashy corporate laptop)

Thanks! That’s helpful, indeed. Though, judging from the screenshot, it’s an issue with our fonts, which have not been optimally hinted (yet), because, in the days of retina displays, hinting only still matters for… trashy corporate laptops with OS’s that don’t properly support subpixel anti-aliasing and which rely on a font’s built-in rasterizing ‘hints’.

So, thanks again for letting us know, so we put more careful font hinting higher up on our todo. Meanwhile, I hope you’d want to give TextusClassics.com a second chance, using another machine.
