Banding in Firefox, Firefox Beta, Nightly
Firefox on Android does not seem to be rendering images in full color. This results in a lot of banding in images with gradual color shifts and gradients.
Example: Firefox 16.0a1 Stock Browser Opera Mobile
Edit: I simply converted the example image to 64k colors on my desktop and it ended up looking exactly the same as it does in Firefox.. This says that Firefox is displaying images (and possibly videos) in 64k colors when it should be displaying in 16.7 million colors.
I remember this was a big issue in Android 2.1 with the stock gallery, but seems to have been resolved in later versions.

Thanks for the report. This is a known problem in Firefox which we are working on; you can find some information about that work here:
Thanks! Must have missed that bug report while searching. Hope you guys figure it out, it is the only thing holding me back from using Firefox as my default browser.
There have been some major improvements over the last month or so and Firefox is now one of the smoothest browsers out there.
