Yes & no. Sometimes, both apps display things just fine. But, when
This really sound like an intermittent bug in firefox and thunderbird,

I opened an example image from FF in both GIMP and EoG and it was
displayed fine.
Seems it isn't the video driver then.

Once I came across a bad image in FF, I restarted in safe mode and
browsed back to it. It was still bad. (It's "--safe-mode", btw)
Actually, it isn't. From the mozilla web site,

Linux
On Linux, you can go to your Terminal and run (for Firefox):
* /path/to/firefox/firefox -safe-mode
It probably accepts the --safe-mode as well. It isn't like Firefox
is going to have lots of options from the command line anyway. I was
just being peevish.
