[Bug 249436] [NEW] Firefox 3 displays JPEG with much colour banding compared to Firefox 2

[Ralph Corderoy]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Ubuntu 8.04, firefox-3.0 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1, firefox-2
2.0.0.15+1nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2.

Firefox 3 displays many JPEG photos with much banding in the colour
compared to Firefox 2.  Attached is a sample JPEG, two screenshots of FF
2 and 3 viewing the same HTML file that uses that JPEG, and the output
of xdpyinfo since I've a 16bpp root window and that may be pertinent.
This makes Firefox 3 impractical for viewing and rating photographs.

** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
