Images in Firefox load at a lower resolution than in IE
When I load a webpage in Firefox the images/ logos are at a slightly lower resolution than those for the same site in IE8. I have checked several sites and all are the same.

Firefox may be running in 256 color mode, for details see website colors are wrong.
Thanks.
Checked all of the suggested settings and they were all as defaults - nothing to change. Problem not resolved.
I have attached an example below.
Can you post a link to that page?
It is possible that the website is created with MS software and only show low resolution GIF images for browser that do not support VML.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
Tried the above, but didn't make any difference.
I think the answer may be in the images themselves. It would appear that IE8 displays the image at the original resolution, before it was scaled to fit in the HTML page, Fire fox shows the resolution after the scaling was applied. If you look at the Crag View Logo on the left hand side of the home page for www.cragview.com, the image was scaled down from 1200 pixels wide to 212 pixels wide as shown on the web page.
There is a definite difference to the way both browsers display pages as you can see below. Normally F Fox looks better!! Take a look at the buttons on this page in IE8 and Firefox.
