What you're complaining about is called "kerning pairs" and is considered to be superior text layout technique. Most professionally laid out text in print uses this. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning. Perhaps you aren't used to it.

I'm well aware of kerning, thanks. Firefox 4 is simply getting it wrong on WinXP systems, closing up far too aggressively after 'T' and sometimes other letters like 'Y' in many fonts commonly used in web design. (See the link I posted earlier for screenshots.)
