Firefox shadow rendering

[cphoniball]

Wasn't sure where else to put this.

Lately when I've been browsing Flickr I've noticed that the shadows in a lot of pictures tend to get "blocked up" for lack of a better definition. Especially in black and white pictures, it almost looks like the picture is posterized. For example, I can see it in the arm in this picture.

Thinking it might be my browser, I switched to opera and the problem is much better. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, have you found a way to modify firefox to prevent it? I'd rather not switch browsers, but will if I have to...

I have used firefox for a long time, and not noticed this problem. I doubt it is the browser but then, i"m no expert.

I'm looking at them side by side in FF & Chrome and can't see any difference?

Can you show screen shot?

Could be a setting in your FF?

Yupper! Doesn't look all that bad to me on Firefox.

I think I know what you are talking about. I tend to see it at work.

I *believe* it is a screen resolution issue. Check you screen settings and make sure the color resolution is as high as it can be.

That would make sense sk66, but my resolution and color settings are as high as possible, and the pictures look good everywhere but in firefox, so it's not that.

After a quick look through firefox's settings I don't see anything that might be causing it, but I'm sure there's something I'm missing, so I'll keep looking... thanks for the help guys.

Looks fine to me. COmparing FF to Safari on a Mac

Not sure it will help but you could try un-installing FF and then install a clean build, I've had to do it to get rid of something weird a couple years back.

Check what version of FF you have, maybe it's outdated.
But my better advice is to stick to Opera. Opera rulez 'em all!
