Well, it's two and a half years later, I've upgraded from 8.04 to 10.10, and Firefox 3 still has this JPEG display regression compared to Firefox 2 back then. The sample image I provided back then still displays terrible banding on this 16bpp display, as can be seen in the differences between ff[23].8899.png from that time.
Package firefox 3.6.15+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.10.1. Can someone set the Importance please? Not being able to view photos for judgement and selection is a real PITA. At least on 8.04 I could run up Firefox 2 but 10.10 (rightly) doesn't provide that any more so that workaround has gone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249436 Title: Firefox 3 displays JPEG with much colour banding compared to Firefox 2 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
