Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 488800

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[u278231]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-CA; rv:1.9.2.11) Gecko/20101013 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.11

A few (maybe one in seven or eight) images on the web are displaying in primarily purple tones. It seems to be caused by ICC profiles, as disabling them fixes it.

Workaround: set gfx.color_management.mode to 0.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load up qwantz.com (as an example that I know is affected)
Actual Results:  
The image looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/n2mUf.png

Expected Results:  
The T-Rex should be a bright green, the Utahraptor a light orange, and the Dromiceiomimus a pale yellow.

I am using an nVidia GeForce GTS 250, with the Nouveau drivers.
