 I have not tried on another XO. I assumed that since firefox 3.0 doesn't
 have issues that it is a software problem and not a hardware problem. I
 will try out another XO tomorrow. Great suggestion.

 The images that are distorted are 'tiled' images. That is they are small
 images that are repeated in a given direction. I turned off the tiling by
 setting css property background-repeat: no-repeat;

 then set:
 -moz-background-size: 100% 100%;

 and voila, looks lovely

 According to Cork on #firefox mozilla network, some lower level library
 than firefox is providing incorrect dimensions. Or, it could be that my
 hardware is at fault.

 I will also try firefox-3.5 again and check the results
