I'm running dropline Gnome for Slackware 9.1, which is acclaimed for it's anti-aliased fonts. However, my fonts in Firebird are jagged as hell whereas my fonts in Mozilla are smooth as silk. I don't want to use that bloated piece of you-know-what, so please help me out here!

Yeah, alnti-aliased fonts have to be enabled at compile time...

Usually, you edit your .MOZCONFIG and recompile. Try this link out and see if it helps: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=25161

Also, there are a lot of independent builds made on a regular basis, with support for Anti-Aliased fonts and other cool options. Just look around; I'm sure you'll stumble upon one.
