Question: Icons in Firefox

amediaGiven that Internet Explorer is Evil, and Mozilla Firefox is Good, why do my icons look like crap in Firefox? Do they look that crappy to everyone who uses Firefox, and you guys are just too nice to tell me?
Hopefully you'll be able to see this correctly even if you're using Firefox; if both sides look the same, I beg you to log out and use a different browser so you can see the difference.
Not all the icons in this strip are affected, but the ones with black lettering or any significant amount of black in the background look as if Firefox just can't "see" the black. What's up with that? Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have a solution?
TIA for any answers!

Date: 2008-09-29 01:44 am (UTC)Recently I'm trying to do them all in Photoshop as a way to force myself to learn how to use it. So far - just looking at the latest ones - I haven't made any in Photoshop with black lettering, so I can't tell whether the same thing would happen.
