Images scaled down in size on websites are displayed with pixelated (jagged)
edges compared to internet explorer.    

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.
