Firefox Jagged Images

I'm having some issues with Firefox on Feisty, and it really stands out in web comics. Penny Arcade, PHD Comics, Nuklear Power - not to mention normal webpages with embedded images. The images seem jagged and espcially with the comics the text is difficult to read. Note that I don't have problems with fonts, just images and especially writing in the images.

I have a Toshiba tablet and my current screen resolution matches my native resolution - again, I don't have problems displaying high resolution local images, just the web stuff.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance guys.

Try viewing images on Opera

http://www.opera.com/

See if the problem persists, if so, it's just firefox. Which is what it sounds like.

Re: Firefox Jagged Images

Opera works just fine, so now I'll have to find out what's ailing my poor Firefox.

I just have a bunch of add-ons that help with productivity and development that I don't want to abandon for Opera. . .

EDIT: PROBLEM FIXED!

I started poking around through about:config and for some reason imagezoom.defaultGlobalZoom was 90. . . putting that to 100 made everything crisp.

Go figure.

Thanks again though.
