This is how things used to be

This is how I see the same image in FF 15

I know the images are not the same, but if I install Firefox 15 I can see the .png image the same way as a .jpg. I hate that and would be thankful to anybody who can help me remove the white background of .png images.

hello ves13, this seems to be an intentional change in firefo 15:

Since we released our new styling for standalone images, we got a lot of feedback from people who had trouble with the way that we rendered transparent images. Starting with Firefox 15 we have reverted to showing transparent images on a white background. https://msujaws.wordpress.com/2012/08/28/my-contributions-to-todays-firefox-release-2/

i'm not aware of any easy way to circumvent that...

  • bug 754133 - Set background of standalone images (the image itself, not the whole page) to white

Well, guess what Mozilla? 'Til you fix this issue I'm gonna be switching to Internet Explorer! Because it's actually important to some people that translucent .png images *don't* have white backgrounds :-O
