This doesn't seem to work for Firefox on Android. Instead, I see three giant pixels, with a discrete border between them.

  Hacker news comments section doesn't work on Firefox on Android either.

    They don't work on desktop Firefox either, if you make the window small enough. I always thought the staff had, for some reason, decided that mobile users didn't need to know which comment was part of which thread.

  It's actually a very low resoluton image (3x7 by default), stretched using the bilinear filtering provided by the browser. Chrome and Safari produce smooth images. Firefox for Mac produces a mosaic (source each pixel gets a ~10x10 grid, it looks pretty good IMO). Firfox for Android may not do any smoothing. I don't think there's a way to control how the browser does the filtering.

    You can, using the 'image-rendering' property, but on Mac FF this appears to have no effect. https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/i/image-rendering/ https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/i/image-rendering/

      The options are basically "smooth" and "don't smooth". Firefox for Mac in "smooth" mode doesn't smooth engough...

  No smoothing at all, just bigger blocks. Here's what the page looks like on Firefox on Android: https://i.imgur.com/BZnlqfs.jpg https://i.imgur.com/BZnlqfs.jpg
