User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Build ID: 20170303022339

Steps to reproduce:

All the same, as it was in 51, please read this topic: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1298484

Now in 52 this bug presented once again. I am using Windows XP. Removing Skia from "gfx.content.azure.backends" fixes the bug.

upd: Removing Skia fixes most of it, but not all of it, please see comparing with 51.0.1:

52 with Skia removed: http://i.imgur.com/g9G49ha.png
51.0.1 regular: http://i.imgur.com/NlEqAnN.png

The upper part looks almost the same, but my post is muddy

I think it's duplicate of Bug 1345222 (or very similar).

I'm not sure what we can do here. You can disable skia, but this is the final release for windows XP. There isn't anything we can do to fix it for 52, but disabling skia is probably your best bet.

Hi

Will it be fixed in 52.0.1 version? I am on 52(not ESR) right now and on regular 52(which runs on WinXP) removing Skia fixes everything, including:

"52 with Skia removed: http://i.imgur.com/g9G49ha.png
51.0.1 regular: http://i.imgur.com/NlEqAnN.png

The upper part looks almost the same, but my post is muddy"

If I remove it in ESR 52, it will still uncompleted solution. So, as I understand you will be fixing similar(?) issue https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1345222, so will it be fixed in 52.0.1 and will 52.0.1 run on Windows XP? Thanks.
