I think you're experiencing a firefox bug here, that is it switches  
from the Mac OS X-native text antialiasing to it's own antialiasing  
when the opacity less then 100% -- which produces inferior results.  
Plus, the rendering engine, in some situations, seems to extend this  
to other, non-related elements.

While this is something the Firefox devs have to fix at some point,  
one thing that _possibly_ solves this is to move your image or text  
to an other place in the DOM (while maintaing the position with CSS).  
No guarantees here.

Best,
Thomas
