When I view images, apparently only .png images and even then not all of them, they appear as much more yellow than they should. They appear with normal colors if I save the image and open it in a viewer, and they have normal colors if viewed in Internet Explorer.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I installed version 3.6.3

This can be caused by a problem with the color profile for your display monitor or color profiles embedded in images. You can disable color management to test that.

You can set the pref gfx.color_management.mode to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management. You need to close and restart Firefox or maybe even reboot the computer to make the change effective.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/gfx.color_management.mode --- See https://developer.mozilla.org/En/ICC_color_correction_in_Firefox

Caveats: The new QCMS color management system introduced in Firefox 3.5 currently only supports ICC version 2 color profiles, not version 4.
