Everything. Let's compare and contrast (see image below rant)
<font face="courier new,courier">Unless the image has lots of light or white areas near the borders. Then, the dark background would be better. Even though I'm a long time Firefox user, I hardly even noticed the change.</font>@Lorne Kates said:- Old style is a white background, providing sufficient contrast to the image itself
- Also because it's a white background, it is very clear where the image borders are
It is yet another unneeded UI change.
<font face="courier new,courier">Now there's something I can agree with. Over the years I've always recommended that people should ditch Internet Explorer and use Firefox. Lately, a few people I know have switched back to IE. They've gotten tired of the non-stop Firefox treadmill that brings more and more unwanted changes with every new version. Firefox still has a better UI but it's taking more and more tweaking to undo all the stupid changes and get it back to where I like it.

I might respect Internet Explorer when Microsoft respect me and scrap IE's useless error pages. I still find IE to be particularly horrible to deal with any time there's the slightest hiccup.
My points of contention with Firefox's image display are a) the mottled backdrop just looks stupid, and b) for 32-bit PNG, it puts a separate pale grey backdrop under the image itself that makes it look like the image has no transparency, which is confusing, and probably a workaround for dealing with images that expect a pale background.

<font face="courier new,courier"> I don't care much for IE. But, for non-technical users, I can see how IE seems to be easier to use. They have no interest in messing around with a bunch of extensions or digging into the about:config settings, they just want to see some stupid video on Youtube and Tweet that they got a new cat.</font>

Every browser gets you that.

Exactly, so why install any other browser if you already have one? Sure, IE might be shitty at times, but it's mostly shitty in aspects that don't concern non-technical users.

Except, some browsers don't default to automatically updating themself every few weeks with all sorts of changes that break things the user is perfectly happy with.for non-technical users, I can see how IE seems to be easier to use.
