There's already an open bug for this issue:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403513
('bad kerning in print output if hinting is set to "medium" or "full"')

So, to answer questions #1 and #2, there's no known solution, and hence
upgrading to later versions of Firefox won't fix the issue. (at least, not
yet)

(Any further comments should be posted on the bug itself, so as to
minimize the number of places in which the same issue is discussed)
