What causes browsers to render images poorly?

I'm creating a simple html help file from a Word document. Images in the file appear very blurred when the file is viewed a browser. I've tried Firefox and IE8. The image itself is fine. I've also tried saving the image as jpg instead of gif but that didn't help at all.

Below are some screenshots showing a small part of the image as it looks if I view the image in Irfan and as it looks in Firefox. By the way the original here is from the copy of the image that Word created when I saved the file, and that's the image that is pointed to in the html code.

Update:

I think I found the cause. Word had created a resized copy of the image for reasons best known to itself. I replaced that image with the original and now it displays ok.

    Each new browser comes with bugs in the program for some silly reason. They play this game with the really cool CSS tricks you can author on webpages too. It's not fair.
