Yep, 1994 sure was awful.
To the extent that that would keep the old program looking correct, it
would force firefox to always look wrong. But the application itself
may also rely on colormap change events to work properly.
You may want to consider running the old app in a separate Xephyr or
Xvnc session running at depth 8 but running the normal server at depth 24.
