no compositing support

[Andreas E.]

On the Linux platform, Firefox renders several things not transparent although it does on Windows. This causes Firefox to visually stand out from other applications:

- the Light themes' tooltips are not transparent and not rounded
- auto scroll icon is not antialiased/transparent
- (users that want to use transparent themes don't see a transparent firefox window)

Since Linux otherwise has no problems with compositing/X11 ARGB/etc. , this appears to be something that can be solved.

Release: Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 12.04 (Edited by slsolaris)
Firefox version: 5.0

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) reached end-of-life on April 28, 2017.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
