(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Martin Dawson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

After uninstalling 1.0PR and installing 1.0, the Firefox icons look awful.  I
installed FF on another Win2k machine which had never had FF before and they
looked the same; installing on a WinXP machine showed the usual lovely icons.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Firefox 1.0 on a Win2k machine.

Actual Results:  
8-bit color icons

Expected Results:  
Normal color depth

This is an 8bit issue apparently.  I'm running WinXP at 32bit color resolution,
and the icon on my Desktop looks nice.  However, I'm also running the Office XP
toolbar, and the icons there are only displayed in 8bit.  The Firefox icon on
the toolbar has the same bad color scheme as the document icon shown in the URL
above.

This bug description is obviously identical to

I just posted a possible solution there.
