1007670 - Firefox gradient banding issue

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 627771

Attachment: significant banding in firefox (not in Chrome)

Using larger gradients in firefox is a real pain, because there's significant banding. Chrome doesn't have this issue.

I have attached a file to show what I mean. Open it with firefox and then chrome and you will see the difference.

Affected is for example: http://lxqt.org/

I am not sure however if those bugreports address the exact same issue. If they do, please inform me which one.

i can confirm that there is a difference in rendering   between in Nightly and Chrome 35. Nightly looks banded, Chrome is continuous.

Yes? Everybody does.

It appears that it's smoother in Chrome because Chrome is dithering the gradient.

What about the other bugs I listed in the first post? Are they also duplicates?

I don't think so.
