Created attachment 347697 [details] Screenshot of the affected colours Description of problem: Firefox renders certain colors totally off. The problem seems isolated to Firefox because I haven't noticed any problem with other apps, including movie players and photo viewers (so I don't think it's display related). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Firefox 3.5b How reproducible: It may not be easy to reproduce. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Firefox, navigate to certain pages such as opensolaris.org or identi.ca. Some of Firefox's UI is also rendered incorrectly, like the "organize bookmarks" icon. Actual results: Colors are all messed up Expected results: Nice colors Additional info: See photo attachment for a screenshot
Does this happen even when you run firefox in safe mode (i.e., run on the command line firefox -safe-mode)? If yes, could you please attach here file ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/prefs.js Thank you

Created attachment 348395 [details] screenshot of non-reproduction Hmm, cannot reproduce here. ...
This looks like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490537 Switching off color management by setting gfx.color_management.mode to 0 should help for now.
That worked
Me too... seen this occasionally and shrugged off, but this was a bit much: Original: http://koti.mbnet.fi/~tiige/Alfa/75%20TS/kulma.jpg Screenshot from Firefox: http://laiskiainen.org/tmp/firefox-screwed-colors.png Setting gfx.color_management.mode to 0 + browser restart fixes it here too.
Even though I am closing this as duplicate of the upstream bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490537, could I get from everybody here who is able to reproduce this, what architecture and version of Firefox they use, and whether setting gfx.color_management.mode to 0 (and restart) helps? We will continue to track the issue in the centralized upstream bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. Thank you for the bug report.
Architecture: x86_64 Firefox: 3.5-1.fc11 (but also seen in the beta originally shipped in F11) X driver: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-16.fc11 (RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] rev 0) And yes setting gfx.color_management.mode to 0 helps. ATI + x86_64 *seems* to be a common denominator here...
Will I am running nvidia + i386, so I don't really think that is the common denominator. ;p I was experiencing the problem with the 3.5 beta that originally shipped with F11, and setting the color management mode to 0 completely fixed the problem.
Also I should mention I'm now running 3.5-1.fc11. I tried setting color management mode back to 2, and everything seems to be working fine. I am using a different video driver now (nvidia instead of nouveau).

I've just run into this on Rawhide on Intel graphics; settings gfx.color_management.mode to 0 seems to fix this. However on my ATI box, I don't see the problem...
Setting gfx.color_management.mode=0 IS NOT A SOLUTION TO THOSE WHO WANTS CORRECT COLORS! When you disable color management you just disable the support of profiles. For most everyday work it is fine BUT if you want to see correct colors in some image YOU MUST use the profiles both in the image and for the monitor. This is important for people taking COLORS as one of the primary thing in the image, say for photographers (as I am) or designers. I agree that temporarily disabling of the color management makes things better because the color rendering with the color management enabled is really awful. However, I presume it should be corrected in the future versions. Firefox 3.0.14 DID WORK PERFECTLY with profiles and even with profiles of revision 4. I have put more expanded comments in the bug I reported (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530962, see also comment 12 here) and which is now marked as a duplicate of this one. There there is also a screenshot indicating clearly the difference in color rendering for Firefox 3.5.3 and GIMP using the same monitor profiles. Regards, Alex

I totally agree with you, but if you want this change in Firefox, please, take your fight to the upstream bug. I don't think we have a capacity to fix it in Fedora (moreover, it doesn't have much sense anyway, most likely this is completely Fedora unspecific issue). I am sorry, I cannot help you more.
You are right. This does nothing with Fedora at all. I have checked this on Win32. BUT what is possible is to offer people a possibility of installing Firefox 3.0.14 (maybe 3.0.15, but I have not checked it yet) which is working perfectly with colors. However, it is not in the package list even if 'only latest versions' checkbox is off in the package manager. So, you have to go through source tarball download and compiling, etc. Another idea is to port Safari, but I'm not quite sure it is doqble in a reasonable time (I'm even not sure it is OSS).
