Facebook images poor quality in firefox mobile

Compared to Chrome or Internet or Opera or any other browser on Android, Firefox Mobile produces poor quality images on facebook.

The images aren't as crisp or sharp, as though perhaps the browser gathers a lower resolution or more highly compressed version of the same image. Using the Phony extension creates sharp images, but the formatting on the website gets broken.

Why does this happen and can I turn it off?

My browser is fully updated. Mobile Firefox simply downloads a poor image. No other browser does. This needs to change.

Firefox does not control the image quality. Facebook does. Firefox just renders what Facebook sends to your browser. Though Firefox and Chrome may get different data from Facebook.
