Let me solve the mystery for you: the reason why a photo looks better on Safari then on Firefox is due to the fact that I'm using a pirated version of Firefox on my Mac. That's the version I've downloaded from an illegal Chinese (or was it Russian, I forgot) site. I think that, by cracking the intellectual property protection code on Firefox, the hackers have managed to somehow degrade its ability to render photos flawlessly. If you happen to have a legit version of Firefox, the one you bought in the legit store, then naturally you won't be able to experience the differences I've described here. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86236 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
