Well, somehow there is always something behind the transparency because they haven't invented fully transparent displays yet... So each image viewer has a default background for transparent things, and yes, Firefox uses a light grey.

The tool box has a feature to create ellipses. I expected it to form circles when holding down the shift key, but this action had no effect!
Start dragging, then depress the shift key. You ellipse will become a perfect circle.

In regular Gimp: Filter>Render>Gfig but IMHO it is barely usable
Once you have learned to use Paths:
- There is the "classic" shape-path script.
- There is my own ofn-path-to-shape which is discussed here
