Why is image quality so low compared to other browsers? (comparisons included)

Image quality of small thumbnails seems to be really lacking in Firefox compared to other browsers.

This seems to be a rendering issue. Any way to fix this?

Pay special attention to the Avatars and the notification bar at the top.

Thanks!

Depending on the device we may be using 16 bit color. Most recent device we should be using 24 bit color.

Facebook may be sending different content is the other possibility.

I would recommend trying Firefox Beta from the Play Store. Some bugs for image handling were improved, let us know what you think.
