All this time, it has bumps and wobbles along. See video: http://people.mozilla.org/~atrain/misc/wobble.mp4

This seems like a regression, and the resource image just doesn't look symmetric.

We've been having only mdpi version of the throbber for 14+ versions. We need hdpi and xhdpi versions too.

Other's are seeing this too??? \o/

It just looks like it's bleeding off the edges you can see in my video. From afar it looks like a flat rotating tire.

I guess what I'm seeing are it's flat bottom and side; needs to be smoothed!

I sent higher density images to sriram ( http://cl.ly/473U0Q0A3m0Y ) but we still seem to be running into weirdness, from what I can tell on IRC. 

Let's dig into this some more next week. 

Or throw the spinner out entirely and build a progress bar once and for all, as seen in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=867633#c1 ;)

We have a weird favicon size in the url-bar -- some 25.33dip. And with a 8dip left-margin, its about 17.33dip. That sounds pretty bad size. That's the reason this image is wobbling. I wonder if we see something wrong with the actual favicons themselves.

History: This weird size was added 2 years back when Nexus S -- HDPI device -- came out. We wanted to have the 32x32px favicon show as 32dip on Nexus S -- the then "best" device -- and took a hit on the MDPI devices. Still 0.33 is sticking there.

A wild progress bar appeared ....
