After updating Firefox to 32, I've noticed many images don't load properly. Sometimes they will show up for a moment, then disappear, other times they will be distorted with black vertical bars. I've attached a screenshot to show what I'm talking about. Is anyone else seeing this?

Hi,

I don't have that problem currently, but I have seen a similar problem in the past when full hardware acceleration was enabled. If you haven't tried it already you could temporarily rename your /usr/home/$USER/.mozilla folder, restart www/firefox, and rule out a problem with the browser right away if it works with default settings.
 
I have not very good eyes. Had big fonts-size and zoom. I had these problems, could solve it to play with font-sizes and zooming - I thought it was a problem with this settings, but it seems it's an other problem (scaling ?). And it's only on FreeBSD. On Linux with the same firefox-version works without problems.
 
Earlier versions of Cairo had text rendering problems in Firefox. This looks somewhat similar. What version of Xorg and Cairo are being used?
 
Moving ~/.mozilla out the way doesn't help.

uname -Krm
Code: 
9.3-STABLE amd64 903501

pkg info -E xorg-server
Code: 
xorg-server-1.12.4_9,1

pkg info -E cairo
Code: 
cairo-1.12.16_1,2
 
Thanks for the tips. I tried downgrading to cairo-1.10.2_10,2, but the problems remained. I'll submit a bug with gecko@.

ADDED: Here's the PR.
 
What helped in my case (not for all, but most of the images - it effects in my browser only jpegs as far I see), I use now smaller fonts and a greater zoom.
With bigger fonts, the jpegs (but not all of them) vanished after a short time, and were only visible with a zoom of 170% or greater.
 
Thanks. Messing with the zoom does, for me as well, seem to be a temporary workaround to see images that don't properly display.
