(Firefox :: General, defect)

FF 3.5's color management function is not working after upgrade. I use a HP LP2475w(wide gamut monitor) on Windows 7. FF 3.0 would display images accurately after modifying the gfx.color_management.mode from false to true. In FF 3.5 this option was enabled by default but images still look over saturated.

I tried all the possible configurations from this link https://developer.mozilla.org/En/ICC_color_correction_in_Firefox but none worked.



Reproducible: Always

Do you have an estimate when this bug will be fixed?

Have you enabled absolute colorimetric mode as rendering intent? (see: gfx.color_management.rendering_intent)

If you don't, color management will just translates the color “balance” or perceptual information but not the actual, physical colors - with absolute colorimetric mode enabled, it looks as if your display was a true sRGB display.
