What's with the graphics rendering in Firebird?

Both transparent GIFs and PNGs appear wrecked...

I've just downloaded a recent build of Mozilla Firebird (0.6.1) in order to help quicken the pace at which I'm converting my site code to standards compliancy.

Oddly, while the jpegs are fine, the gifs and pngs (almost all of which include some 100% transparent areas, though I'm not using alpha channel transparency at all) appear with black or white blotches or are otherwise badly rendered. Sometimes if I scroll down and then back up again the image appears correctly, sometimes it stays ruined.

The last Mozilla build I used - a rather older version of Phoenix - displayed all types of images without a problem.
Is it just my download, or do all 0.6.1 builds have this problem?

I think it's a problem with Firebird. I recently downloaded the most recent version (0.6.1) to replace Phoenix, and within a day, I was back to using Phoenix again due to the graphic rendering (and several other problems) in Firebird.

Hmmm... perhaps it's intermittent. I'm now using Firebird for the second time this afternoon and there are no problems at all with the graphics rendering. Maybe it was just a first time thing...?

It is still in development

Apparently there are certain conflicts (minor though) that occur with Mozilla Firebird and certain applications, I've had similar problems. Memory addressing is also an issue with Firebird.

Hopefully version 1.0 comes out within 12 months cause I'm getting sick of Internet Explorer!

Try Opera :)

I've been using Firebird for about 4 months now (nightly builds), and haven't had any problem with image rendering (I also don't use the automatic image resizing option, so that might be part of it). They keep a pretty extensive backlog of older nightly builds, I think about a month or two's worth, so you could download a couple and see if it was just something to do the specific build you downloaded, or if the problem has been fixed in CVS since the release version.
