I've just run an add-on I'm working on on a Mac Retina Display, using Nightly which has support (bug 674373 - gfx.hidpi.enabled = 2).

The Firefox UI text and web content looks pretty sharp. However, when I open up my add-on panel, the text is blurry (after briefly flashing as clear). See:

Granted this is HTML in the panel, but it looks particularly degraded. Any ideas how to sharpen it?

Hi Brian,

Thanks for reporting this! I think it's a bug, can you report it in
bugzilla instead?

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that there is some CSS in the
panel module somewhere that is casing this problem. Erik will likely
need to look at it as he actually has a retina display machine.

cheers, Jeff

Thanks! We'll discuss it in triage tomorrow.
