** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
+ Summary:
  when using Menu -> View -> Zoom -> Zoom In/Out, images on web page are also 
rescaled. 
  the images are obviously not rescaled using nearest neighborhood algorithm, 
but the image has less quality than image rescaled by gimp using linear 
algorithm. see http://hafik.zuban.name/public/ff/
  I don't know which algorithm is used, but linear would be sufficient.
  firefox version: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) 
Gecko/2009030422 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.7
+ 
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 1. Open the following URL: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27243866/road.jpg
+ 2. Select menu: View -> Zoom -> Zoom In
+ 
+ Expected result:
+ The image is scaled up.
+ 
+ Actual result:
+ The images is distorted when scaled up: the white and yellow markings on the 
road in the photograph show the distortion clearly. The following screenshot 
has some areas of distortion highlighted:
