1328885 - Firefox falls back to grayscale antialiasing for a lot of content

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Graphics: Text, defect, P3)

Description

[Clemens Eisserer]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0
Build ID: 20170103031119

Steps to reproduce:

Used popular webpages such as gmail or facebook


Actual results:

a lot of the content is only rendered with grayscale antialiased text, examples include:
- The "labels" list on the left side of the gmail main page
- the whole gmail "new email" content 
- facebook posts as soon as I hit "reply" (actually the whole newsfeed as rendered grayscale after I hit "reply" or "comment" on a single entry)
- facebo
- ....


Expected results:

the result should be consistent with google chrome, which doesn't fall back to grayscale for *all* the mentioned cases.
