I think the programmers themselves (of Google Chrome and Firefox)
should have taken care of this issue.
The OOo and Firefox programmers will not change your Windows settings.
That is a slippery slope and would lead to all sorts of bad karma.

Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts → ClearType
I tried, but the screen became blurred (מטושטש) so I switched back to
standard. I don't like the blurred effect so much.
Try adjusting the cleartype settings. It has several screens that let you choose
the best appearance.
My bank (hapoalim) website does not look good in Firefox and Google
Chrome. Other websites as well. IE is installed automatically on any
computer with Windows, this helps when you get used to it and it's
installed on public computers around the world. If I use a public
computer when travelling, chances are I'm using IE. I tried Firefox
and Google Chrome, for example with Gmail, and I think they are less
good than IE.
I won't argue about which browser is better, but I would love to hear
why you feel that IE is better. No argument, just tell me what you
like about it, or what you dislike about Firefox.
The fonts look better with IE. In Gmail, there is a small sign (»)
when the mail is sent directly to my address. It looks better in IE
than in Firefox and Chrome. I also like the sound when pressing
links, in Firefox and Chrome it's like being deaf - no sounds. I also

hate plugins. And also, Bank Hapoalim website has problems with
Firefox and Chrome. So in general I think IE is better.
Like I said, regrettably Israeli banks are notorious for ignoring web design
standards and creating non compatible sites.
Sorry, I can't. I have files in Excel and Word, they never look the
same with Open Office, and I'm using them.
If you have non-confidential files that look different in OOo, please
send them to me so that I could file a bug and improve OOo. Thanks.
Sorry, my files are confidential. But I'm not using Open Office, I
have a version of Microsoft Office on my computer and I'm used to it.
No problem. MS Office really is good software (I don't like MS's web
browser or operating system, but their office suite is great) and if
you feel that the price is justified (which in my opinion it is) then
use it!
I suppose I can convert my Word and Excel files to Open Office if I
want to, but my Access software will have to keep running on Microsoft
Access& Windows. I wrote this software for the company I work for,
Pazgal, since 1996 and until now. It has about 80 forms, 40 reports
and more than 200 queries, 80 tables and a lot of Visual Basic code.
If I were to write this program again in a new platform, it would take
me years! And I don't know which platform can replace Microsoft
Access.
Nothing can directly replace Access. OOo Base is not even close.
