[Mike Shaver (:shaver emeritus)]

Am I reading it wrong, or is that 0x00000000 mask for all of ARGB sort of strange?

Comment 2

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

No, it's a server running in 8bpp indexed mode.  Not much chance we'll support this.

Comment 3

[Bruce Becker]

???

Firefox 2 works just fine in exactly the same context
(I just tried it to make sure)

Comment 4

[Mike Shaver (:shaver emeritus)]

Yeah, we have a different graphics layer in FF3, based on Cairo.  If someone fixes Cairo to do indexed-8bpp, there'd be a chance we could still pick it up.  http://cairographics.org/

(Similarly, we will no longer support Win 95 or 98, though not for quite the same reason.)

Comment 5

[Bruce Becker]

apparently it's been dealt with, if I understand things correctly -

Comment 6

[Mike Shaver (:shaver emeritus)]

I don't think you understand things correctly -- that bug isn't FIXED, and the last patch includes a plea for someone to help the author find a suitable solution.  We are quite current with Cairo, as I understand it, so should it be resolved there in time for an update before the FF3 release, it's very likely that we'd be fixed by it too.

Comment 7

[JP Rosevear [:jpr]]

This is either not worth fixing or its fixed already based on the upstream bug.

Comment 8

[Joe Drew (not getting mail)]

This was fixed in Cairo 1.0.2, which we imported many moons ago.
