Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Ubuntu 8.04, firefox-3.0 3.0+nobinonly-
Firefox 3 displays many JPEG photos with much banding in the colour compared to Firefox 2. Attached is a sample JPEG, two screenshots of FF 2 and 3 viewing the same HTML file that uses that JPEG, and the output of xdpyinfo since I've a 16bpp root window and that may be pertinent. This makes Firefox 3 impractical for viewing and rating photographs.

Hi Ralph, thanks for using Ubuntu and thanks for your bug report! I am on Firefox 3 here (3.0+nobinonly- 0ubuntu0. 8.04.1) and see the original image just as you do in Firefox 2, without the banding, so I can't confirm this issue.
What exactly do you mean by a 16bpp root window? I am unaware of what that means, but since this doesn't appear to be a universal Firefox issue on a standard install, it may be something about your specific system setup. Any ideas?
