Image Color management in Firefox 4 is off
I recently upgraded to FF4. Prior to that I had excellent color agreement in the 3 browsers I use to check the websites I design. Now the color in FF4 is way, WAY, OFF. I use srgb tagged images and a calibrated monitor and the colors are correct in Chrome, IE8 AND in FF 3.63 but NOT in FF 4. I just spent about an hour trying to figure out why an image on a website I designed no longer matched its background when neither the image, the background nor anything else about the page had changed in a month. Turns out the only thing that changed was the browser! This is NOT GOOD.

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

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

Thank you for your reply.
Your references are for FF3; my issue is with FF4. The gfx.color_management.mode is already set at 1.
This is NOT an issue with the version of ICC profile being used. That has not changed in the last month.
I see this too. It looks as if the monitor's color space is ignored. This is the same broken behaviour that I see with MS new IE which was supposed to do color management, but doesn't (it assumes all monitors are sRGB).
