Firefox display the the background image wrongly.

guotsuan · 2012-05-31 17:24:16

About one month ago, after I upgraded my system. The firefox (12.0 ) started to display some websites with wrong titling background images. For example,
website in firefox

The correct rendering I think should be looks like in chromium

website in chromium

I have tried to start firefox with new profile and change the gtk theme to the default. I changed the windows manager to xfce.
I also tried to re-compile the firefox. None of them changes anything.

But When I tried to compile the firefox with qt. the firefox-qt display website corretely.
So I guess that this problem could have somthing to do with cairo?

I have updated all packages in my system to [testing]
the cairo version : 1.12.2-1
my windows manager is awesome 3.4.11-4
kernel 3.4.0-1

I wondering does anyone know what's problem here.
Thank you very much.

Also, if you use Chakra, you should ask on their fine forums where you will probably get better answers

Sorry for the confusion.
I use arch Linux. The screen shots are just random examples.

I'm having a similar issue as well. Seems to be something with the way firefox is rendering the "repeat-x" css property and centering with "background-position: 50%" (or center). If I remove the repeat-x or if I start the background image at 0 0, it renders fine. As soon as I enter any value in the x background-position, it messes up.

I've played around with it a bit here:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp? … _gradient2

trying:
background:url('gradient2.png') 0 0 repeat-x;
and
background:url('gradient2.png') 50% 0 repeat-x;
(doesn't display on the second one)

The weird thing is that it only seems to by on my arch install. (loads fine in ubuntu isntalls).

I'm using openbox as a standalone wm.

Hallo,

same here, even with brand new 13.0 version ( extra/firefox 13.0-2 )

I've tryed to disable all firefox's addons ( $ firefox -safe-mode ) without success...

I'm using xfce as WM, so i think that is window-manager indipendent.. I'm doing some more test, if I discover something I'll report it here!

It seems to me that this is video driver dependent. I have the same issue with nouveau driver but not with intel.

Switching to the nvidia drivers fixed the issue for me as well.

Yes, I did some tests with another pc which has same packages installed and intel GPU driver and it works well...
so is something related to nouveau driver and Firefox (with other browsers, like Chrom* and Opera works fine). I'm still searching the cause and - obiuvsly - a solution...

Any hints?! :)

There is a AUR package firefox-system-cairo probably it could help, but I had no luck building it

I try the binary driver (nvidia) and everything works fine.. so is something related to nouveau driver ( the "-git" version doesn't solve this problem).

In the small spare time I do a quick search on google, but I don't find anything useful.. I can't understand why there is few reports of this issure, I think that arch+nouveau+firefox is a pretty common setup nowadays... maybe I'm using the wrong keywords.

so.. still searching for a solution

I opened a bug on the nouveau tracker about this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51207

Great!

I found another thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=143427 which talks about the same issue!

As reported on the other thread, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.0-1 fixes this issue!
