I agree, but it is possible to configure a custom stylesheet in Firefox,

You might try creating a new profile in Firefox (without installing any
addons) and see if it still behaves the same way. (My guess is that it
won't.)

At a recent conference in the UK, colleagues an I were joking that this was "tile grout". I can even see the problem on openstreetmap.org
