Firefox regression?

By Diwaker Gupta | Published: April 8th, 2008

While going through my feeds today, I happened to land up on the ACID tests web page, and so I thought “hmm, let me see how Firefox does”. My expectation was that since Firefox is touted to be such a standards compliant browser, it'd pass tests 1 and 2 with flying colors. I already know that it doesn't pass Acid3 yet, so I wasn't expecting much anyways.

And so I was quite shocked to see it miserably fail both Acid1 and Acid2. I'm not sure if this is because some extension that I have (unlikely). I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.13 on Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10). Take a look at the results of the test:


  1. My firefox extensions
  2. And now the file extension test!
  3. Firefox: A History
  4. I failed
  5. HP Pavilion a1640n USB support in Ubuntu
