1454146 - Color Management fails to inherit system's Display Profile

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Graphics: Color Management, defect, P3)

Description

[[e-mail]]

Attachment: Firefox vs Chrome color management.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20180323154952

Steps to reproduce:

Nothing. Use a wide-gamut monitor. Set a calibrated color profile in Windows's "Color Management" settings.


Actual results:

The Fx color management system converts the web content from source to sRGB, instead of the monitor color space. It fails to inherit the display profile from the Windows Color System (WCS).


Expected results:

As outlined in the article below, intended default Firefox behavior is to convert all color information to the system's display profile.

Hey Ryan,

I tried to reproduce the issue on the latest Firefox 59.0.2. using the same web browser color management test (http://cameratico.com/tools/web-browser-color-management-test/). 
Didn’t manage to reproduce it mainly because my system does not include a wide-gamut monitor.
However, the issue number linked to this report is related and may aid in further investigations.
