378936 - Images should be interpolated when resized

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 98971

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.3 (Ubuntu-feisty)

When a large image is resized to fit within the window, or an image is resized with the "height" or "width" HTML attributes, it often has aliasing artifacts like "jaggies" or moiré. Firefox should use a better scaling algorithm to avoid this.

I thought this bug must have been reported already, but I searched for "interpolation", "aliasing", "artifact", and other keywords and couldn't find anything. Sorry if it's a duplicate.

Reproducible: Always

You probably weren't searching for closed bugs, then, or you would probably have found the fixed (on the trunk, for Fx 3) one and its net of duplicates.
