Firefox gives blue hue to entire viewport, how do i fix?
Hi,
I'm running the current Firefox 44.0.1 and it has for as long as I can remember been rendering all web pages with a blue cast compared with Safari, as shown in these screenshots.
The blue cast is on EVERY website I visit.
How do I change the color cast so it's warmer and not so bluish, and looks more like Safari's?
I love working in Firefox because of Firebug and want to stay with it rather than switching to Firefox or Chrome.
Thanks if anyone can help!

Have you ever color profiled your monitor?
By default, Firefox will try to color manage tagged images (JPEGs and PNGs). You can review and experiment with the following preferences to see whether one of them is causing the problem:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste gfx.c and pause while the list is filtered
gfx.color_management.mode - governs application of color management to images
0 = off 1 = on for ALL images 2 = on for TAGGED images (default)
If 0 resolves the issue, Firefox may be glitching in applying a system level monitor profile. I can't recall whether you need to quit/restart Firefox before this change, or changes to the below preferences, takes effect.
gfx.color_management.display_profile - if you have created a custom monitor profile and Firefox is not using it, you can enter the path to it here.
gfx.color_management.enablev4 - double-click to toggle to true if your custom monitor profile is an ICC v4 profile
gfx.color_management.rendering_intent - whether Firefox honors or overrides the intent flag in the ICC profile, by default, overrides to Perceptual
For details, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/Firefox/Releases/3.5/ICC_color_correction_in_Firefox
Can you find a combination of settings that gives you the colors you expect?

Either that or it suddenly got a lot colder in New Hampshire. ;-)
Thanks, that worked!
I needed to change gfx.color_management.mode from 0 to 1, then quit, restart Firefox.
Now images, background colors and everything else looks as it does in Safari and in other applications.
Thanks for solving this one!
