I have this problem too. I have the nv driver installed and my text gets all messed up. This is only for the text fields in firefox and not epiphany so I wonder why this should be related to the graphics driver. Currently I don't want to use the proprietary nvidia driver and as the nv is used by default I request this bug to be reopened.
