This problem is pretty old so it might be a duplicate but I can't find a bug
report for this in the archive. Here's the problem:

Firefox 3 cuts the last line of pixels in text elements that are rendered with
opacity < 1.0. A bug has been opened on their bugzilla at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363861 and there are screenshots
and test cases there. It seems that the problem is due to Cairo (I don't know
which version, I picked 1.7.5 for opening this bug as it is the default one).

The last comment on the Mozilla bug report links to a thread on your mailing
list http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2006-October/008081.html
I read the whole of it but it's not clear if the problem has been fixed. It
hasn't in the version that Firefox is using now. If it has got fixed you might
want to get in touch with the Firefox team and point them to a newer release of
your software. You'll make a lot of Firefox users and web application
developers happy :-)
