In Firefox on the Mac, square elements have blurred edges. Look at icon-envelope-alt, icon-table, etc. And the round icons, eg icon-circle-*, have flattened edges.

Just FYI...
In FF 13, IE 8, and Chrome (21.0.1180.15 dev-m) on Windows XP, I'm not seeing blurred or flattened edges with Font Awesome at all.
Actually, I'm not seeing any improvements in your "Web font icons rendering proof of concept" demo with either. Before and after look the same here for FF and IE. For Chrome, the after column is blank. (?)
I do see the blurriness in your PNG graphic on your page, so it's apparently not my eyes that are to blame: Safari looks good; FF, bad; IE9, fair.
