Small fonts have color distortions when rendering on Linux, how to fix?

I noticed that small fonts on one website were strangely colorful. I narrowed it down to a simple HTML snippet: 

<span style="font-family:sans-serif; font-size:10pt; font-weight:lighter; color:white; background-color:black;"
      >The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</span>

Attached scaled image on how it renders on my Linux Firefox 47.

The text is supposed to be white, and it is working on windows. On two different Linux distributions (Arch and Ubuntu) colors appear out of nowhere. Does Firefox need something specific to be installed on Linux for correct font rendering?

Looks that Firefox has a problem with the anti-aliasing settings and uses all available horizontal RGB pixels to render the text.

Seems HTML wasn't escaped correctly in the original post:

<span style="font-family:sans-serif; font-size:10pt; font-weight:lighter; color:white; background-color:black;"

Disabling sub-pixel rendering solved the issue, thanks.
