It was still bad. (It's "--safe-mode", btw) Actually, it isn't. From the mozilla web site, http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Linux On Linux, you can go to your Terminal and run (for Firefox): * /path/to/firefox/firefox -safe-mode It probably accepts the --safe-mode as well. It isn't like Firefox is going to have lots of options from the command line anyway. I was just being peevish. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

It is probably some obscure interaction between your hardware, its drivers, and those applications. i.e. a bug Are the distortions consistent? i.e. do the same icons and images always have the same distortion? Yes & no. Sometimes, both apps display things just fine. But, when they misbehave, it's always the same images. In TB, for instance, the images that are screewed up are the menu icons at top, except for the trash and printer. eg. http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/6851/screenshot1ji.png In the folders list, it's all of the icons except that for "Drafts" & folders. However, the manner of distortion changes slightly: sometimes everything is predominantly purple and other times kind of a caustic green. But it's always the same icons, which suggests to me that it's something specific to how those files are interpreted. With FF, again, it's always the same images. The difference is that the icons are all fine and the problem is only with content images. Both PNG & JPG are affected (I haven't noticed any GIFs) so that's a bit confusing. http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/2249/screenshotk.png Note that FF has gone green while TB is purple today. What if you save an image that is distorted and open it with an image viewer? Still distorted? I opened an example image from FF in both GIMP and EoG and it was displayed fine. Do you have any strange configuration options set? Effects plugins installed? No. What if you start firefox in safe mode? firefox -safe-mode (bad option design!). Once I came across a bad image in FF, I restarted in safe mode and browsed back to it. It was still bad. (It's "--safe-mode", btw) I have not come across anything similar in any other apps. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
