Can you please try running firefox in the Firefox safemode (that will disable the hwardware acceleration) ?

Please also provide a link to your example image.
Is the black stripe always on the same place with the same image ?

The problem appears in safe mode too. Sending a link to the original image is useless because the problem is random, and not related to a specific website. I used flickr because there mostly pictures and it is easier to reproduce the error. 

I can confirm that:
- The problem appears in safe mode too.
- Reloading the page doesn't fix the problem.
- The image in the cache is fine (yes, I actually searched through the chache to check that).
- Closing the tab and restoring it makes the image display properly (I checked this *after* looking in the cache).

I am attaching a screenshot of the second kind of error (duplicated blocks), it might be a different bug, but looks pretty much the same to me.

Attachment: Cache file is fine

The file stored in the chache is not corrupted. Corruption seems to be only in visualization.

Can you please download a build from mozilla.org, extract it for example in /tmp and run it from there ?

Can you set the environment variable MOZ_DISABLE_IMAGE_OPTIMIZE to 1, and then re-run Firefox?

I suspect X of causing this issue.

The problem disappeared in Firefox 7.0.1.
