Dear friends,

Since I upgraded to Fedore 9, all images appear fuzzy on Firefox. I
have a Dell Latitude D820 laptop with a nVidia card and work with a
resolution of 1680x1050. If I save the images and display them outside
Firefox, they all look sharp. This is true for gif, jpg and svg.

Why I think that's a Fedora issue? Well, because under Fedora 8, all
images were sharp in Firefox. Also, system-config-display does not
seem to work. It fails to detect my display or the possible
resolutions, and when I select a resolution, it will ask me to restart
X, and then happily forget anything I entered. I sometimes felt like
asking some one to have a look at the code and confirm that it
actually is written to do anything.

Thanks!

Take care
Oliver

Try typing CTRL-0 in the Firefox window. If you inadvertantly zoomed the
text in FF3 it may have zoomed the images too. This sometimes makes them
look blurry.

Dear friends, dear Carl,

Yes, Firefox makes images blurry when I zoom the text - but
apparently only under Fedora 9, not earlier Fedoras. At least, I never
noticed before, but now big time.

Take care
Oliver

This is a new default in Firefox 3, which allows all the content on the
page to stay proportional. You can change the behavior by pointing the
browser to "about:config" and changing the value for "browser.zoom.full"
to "false".

are you using crt or lcd in video configs of xorg.conf?

ria, i have noticed a few comments of difference when using crt instead of lcd.

Hi Oliver,


If using Firefox 3, go to the View menu, go to Zoom and check the "Zoom text only" option.


Best regards,

Christopher Ranschaert.

Dear friends,

Thanks that helped! It did not occur to me until now that Firefox
did not zoom images before. So it was a Firefox issue after all, which
happened to get updated with Fedora.

It would be nice, of course, to be able to zoom images and keep them
sharp. I understand this is tough for gif and jpg, but it should work
for svg.

Take care
Oliver
