I thought of that too. But it would have to be pretty strong stuff to project my altered images onto those screenshots. ;-)
Thanks for your help Paul. I'll start disabling my Firefox add-ons to see which one is the culprit.
p.s. -- happy belated birthday J & J!

After some testing we discovered it is her computers way of handling CSS opacity. Does anyone know what could cause this. It doesn't happen to her in Safari and it doesn't happen on our mac in firefox.

firefix?Category: firefox
Anybody else see this in Firefox/Mac?
I started seeing it as soon as I moved my Mac upstairs. Then I remembered one of the last things I did downstairs was reset my display settings for thousands of colors. Set it back to millions and now I get this (which I did start seeing downstairs but hoped it was a temporary glitch).
Ai yi yi. Guess I'll be using Safari. Which already crashed once on me this morning. Time to try Safari 3 beta.
Ok, time to get back to taking screenshots for my interview at 1pm. Between comcast taking 24 hours to get my internet hooked up, and the guys who helped move my sleep sofa a computer desk upstairs not showing up until 9:30pm last night, I'm a little behind. And somehow I don't think these firefox screenshots are going to help me get a job. ;-)

Maybe your graphics card is dying. Maybe that was your problem all along.

It's a weird shift in the color-space continuum for sure. Last time I saw something like this was back in the '90s when I was testing the Station Pass during development of station.sony.com, and discovered under certain fairly common conditions, the color palette set by the java applet in the Station Pass popup window would completely usurp the color palette in the main window. I mean, pixels that had been green suddenly turned yellow, etc. It was freakadelic. That was back in the day of "unsafe" color palettes though. I don't know what's going on for me, except that my Firefox does not seem to like gradients any more. And I appear to be the only one with this problem. Great.

I used this site in FF on my mac and never had that problem. But crazy, perhaps you have to pull out your nintendo cartridge and blow into it from the looks of things.

Holy crapiness. I have never seen anything like it.

ok well it's not psychedelic for me in firefox, either- v. 2.0.0.4. But I don't use firefox that often, and thus haven't installed any add-ons or anything.
Twisted is using firefox on mac os x. So it would really have to be firefox to be a meaningful test.
that test page to me just brings up a solid red box that says 'hello' in black text and that's it. nothing psychedelic. (this is safari 3b on OS 10.4.9)
It is definately a problem with CSS opacity not being displayed right on your computer as we discovered with this simple test page :::link::: with CSS opacity. Does anyone else see it all psychedelic?
NExt step would be to totally trash all traces of firefox, throw out the application folder, delete any prefs. Then go ahead and redownload it and try.
I would say to take it to the apple store but they are going to tell you they don't support firefox.
