Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to https://xillian.com with firefox and note the image of the PC on the right 2. Do the same thing with internet explorer 3. The edges on the image in internet explorer is smooth and in Firefox or mozilla they are really rough. Actual Results: The edges on the image in internet explorer is smooth and in Firefox or mozilla they are really rough. Expected Results: Display the images with smooth edges. Seems like some antialiasing issue but not sure This is really easy to replicate the bottom line is that when large images are scaled down on a website the edges of such images get rough, jagged, pixelated. This does not orrur in Internet Explorer. This was brought to my attention after I migrated 70 users to Firefox rom Internet Explorer.

The was exported by MS Office, is taken care of by IE with the proprietary tags but Mozilla doesn't support them all, see the beginning of the document: <html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" [...] I suspect IE loads (and scales) this image thanks to the tag: <v:imagedata src="index_files/image1386.gif" o:title="xillianlogo2"/> which is: http://xillian.com/index_files/image1386.gif and Mozilla loads this one (which renders the same in IE): http://xillian.com/index_files/image312.gif This sounds more like an evangelism bug than a dupe of bug 98971.
oh. indeed, mozilla does not support VML. reopening

bug 193886 would add VML support, if it ever gets fixed...

Andy, can you check comment 2 and see if you can fix the HTML code that was exported by Office ?

I found out the original sources and as pointed out here it was generated with MS-Office 2003. She created it with MS-Publisher. I will have to figure out how to associate what browser is using what part of the code and change some stuff. Or I may just copy the images to the image names that IE is using. Will try this tonight.
INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009. If someone is willing to investigate the issues raised in this bug to determine whether they still exist, *and* work with the site in question to fix any existing issues, please feel free to re-open and assign to yourself. Sorry for the bugspam; filter on "NO MORE PRE-2010 TE BUGS" to remove.
