Why IE and Firefox display the same image differently, how can I prevent it?
On the left you will see the google logo generated by IE, I drew a black line at the top and bottom of the G that extends to the FF windows which display the same exact logo, but the FF version makes the image larger. There is NO css associated with this page, plain and simple Html.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and can I prevent it? Is my box just a fubar and no one else gets this behavior?
Edit: Couldn't specify IE7 / FF3
Edit: Sent Html as requested

I just created a composite image of Google image screenshots in IE, Firefox and Chrome and they are all in perfect case (top 2 images with 30% opacity).
I believe this should be a custom scale that you have set in one of your browsers. For example, check IE scaling to the right of the status bar.

Is the translation of the text any other? Perhaps you zoomed in on the page in FF (or IE)?
You can try Ctrl-0 to reset the scaling (works in both), I have a logit mouse with a free spinning wheel, so it happens to me quite a bit when I forget that the scroll wheel is still spinning and the Ctrl key. Lots of other places where you can change the scale, etc.
There might also be something completely different, but generally I find that IE and FF render images the same way.
Won't be naming a fubar box based on that, most likely software somewhere ... but hey, it's almost Christmas and if you want an excuse for a new box, I won't tell anyone :)
