The graphics displayed on firefox do not look well. If I switch to IE, they look great.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Just be glad that it's only the formatting. There are certain development tools that create web pages that require IE in order to run properly, which really pisses off a lot of people. The problem is that those web pages simply aren't 100% compatible with anything other than IE.

Just be glad it's only the graphics.

There's a major corporation that had developed their own web based applications, and these apps were designed to use Microsoft's VM, which was based on Java, and licensed from Sun. However, it did NOT conform to the Java standards, and Sun sued MS. In the court decision, MS was barred from distributing the VM, and since it's not exactly compatible with Sun's Java, there are a lot of companies with important web based applications that won't work with versions of Windows later then Windows 2000 (you can find the VM on the Internet, if you look hard enough, and it can be installed on Windows XP. )

Mark,

There is, fortunately, a tap extension that allows
me to choose to display any particular page in IE
format. So I do that. But I was wondering if anyone
else noticed a difference in quality between Firefox
graphic rendering and IE?
