I actually find the new toolbar awesome
![]() Irritating stuff for me: 1. Image blurring. I'm sure it's leet and all that for teenagers who bought those awesomely awesome new graph cards and want everything blurry, but damn, this sucks for a retro player... 2. Password remember and auto-fill After a fresh install and retyping all my passwords on all those boards/torrents/etc. they're not auto-typed, damn it! In most cases they're just filled in the box and I have to click the logon button, but in worst cases, I have to start typing for it to fill and I'm lazy and used to just getting on the site and already being logged in! |

Zoomed in HOL screenshots and maps now look awful - and I've yet to find a way to turn it off.

I've tried searching in about:config for key words such as "blur, image, picture, zoom, etc." but couldn't find an option that would solve it

Can you please post some screenshots of the blurred images? I haven't installed Firefox 3 yet and you're making me hesitate...

Here's a screenshot of a zoomed in HOL image.
It's especially bad with game maps where it's likely you'd want to zoom in and have a closer look. |

Some people have posted a bug report to Mozilla regarding the blurring.

Disclaimer (in advance): I do NOT accept ANY responsibility for the following and I will provide NO support WHATSOEVER for it. If it works for you, hooray, if it doesn't, that's NOT my problem! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
That said, here's a little hack of the Firefox 3.0 (US) release with just a few lines of code changed to remove the interpolation of images altogether. The only other difference is that it thinks it's a "trunk build" (but don't worry, it is the official 3.0 release code) and is hence called "Minefield" and has a different default start page (if I can be bothered I might look into changing that eventually, I already made an attempt but I don't seem to fully understand the branding mechanism yet; I believe there are add-ons to change the window title as well, if you don't like it). This 32-bit binary was built with Visual C++ 9.0 Express Edition, which is why it's built without ActiveX and Accessibility support (the Express Edition doesn't come with ATL headers and I didn't feel like installing another 1GB+ platform SDK), and you'll probably need the appropriate runtime libraries (if you don't already have them) which are available from here: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) I've only tested this on Windows Vista (32-bit) and recommend running it in the following way:
So here goes: An unofficial Firefox 3.0 build to remove the image zoom interpolation "feature" (hosted on ) By downloading this file you agree to LEAVE ME ALONE, no matter what happens. ![]() I may or may not make updates for this until an official fix exists, and I reserve the right to completely ignore requests of any kind (someone else could probably do a much better job than I anyways). Please understand this was just an experiment for my own use (and that I have no experience whatsoever with building and modifying Firefox; although the modification was very simple), and I'm only sharing it here because I thought it might be of some use to others who are frustrated with the blurry images (so long as it doesn't cause me any more effort ![]() Last edited by eLowar; 20 June 2008 at 05:00.

For the technically inclined and/or those interested (or maybe someone wants to make a nicer build), the only change I made to the source code was to mozilla/gfx/src/thebes/nsThebesImage.cpp:
Code:
573,601c573 < switch (target->GetType()) { < case gfxASurface::SurfaceTypeXlib: < case gfxASurface::SurfaceTypeXcb: < // See bug 324698. This is a workaround for EXTEND_PAD not being < // implemented correctly on linux in the X server. < // < // Set the filter to CAIRO_FILTER_FAST if we're scaling up -- otherwise, < // pixman's sampling will sample transparency for the outside edges and we'll < // get blurry edges. CAIRO_EXTEND_PAD would also work here, if < // available < // < // This effectively disables smooth upscaling for images. < if (xscale > 1.0 || yscale > 1.0 || ctxHasNonTranslation) < pat->SetFilter(0); < break; < < case gfxASurface::SurfaceTypeQuartz: < case gfxASurface::SurfaceTypeQuartzImage: < // Do nothing, Mac seems to be OK. Really? < break; < < default: < // turn on EXTEND_PAD. < // This is what we really want for all surface types, if the < // implementation was universally good. < if (xscale != 1.0 || yscale != 1.0 || ctxHasNonTranslation) < pat->SetExtend(gfxPattern::EXTEND_PAD); < break; < } --- > pat->SetFilter(0); ![]() Last edited by eLowar; 20 June 2008 at 05:39. |

I kinda like the softening of sharp edges effect.
But my problem with Firefox 3 is that it feels slower then older releases. |

I don't like this firefox 3 version
was an intend to copy IE7 style...the toolbar buttons is a vulgar copy of IE7 I don't know why they do that stupids things the new toolbar is ugly...you must install the old toolbar addon on the other way "babylon" a program that I use to translate words between languages..not works anymore on this firefox 3 version....who knows what they have changed but..they have improved the download manager....that's the only good news...you can resume now and pause I returned to firefox 2 because babylon not works anymore MuzKat, also I feel this firefox slower than the previous release Last edited by laser; 21 June 2008 at 11:20. |

surprise, surprise... slower than the older release.
Software gets slower, faster than hardware gets faster. Software is decelerating faster than hardware is accelerating. Friggin crap. |
