I guess I'm now reversing my opinion and I think Mozilla should <a href=\"http:\/\/weblogs.mozillazine.org\/tor\/archives\/2005\/06\/win32_backend_r.html\">switch over to the Cairo backend<\/a> to avoid these issues (at the loss of some speed).<\/p>\n<p>On a side note, I notice that Adobe now has a Flash video playing on their home page.
