Preconditions

• Install a deliberately-wrong color profile for the (primary/in-use) display. This one can be used - IdentityRGB-elle-V4-g10.icc

2. Restart both browsers.
3. Access this image on both browsers and compare them.

Expected result

:oardelean, if you think that's a regression, could you try to find a regression range using for example mozregression?

This issue does not appear to be a regression considering that the same color gradient can be observed on builds as far back as Nightly v35.0a1. This might be an issue in Chrome rather than in Firefox considering that the color setting is intended to be a little off and also, the fact that the color is quite unrealistic in both browsers, but different.

Desktop QA has been highlighting this defect as a known issue for several release cycles now, following regression testing. Kelsey, it would really help us if you set a priority on this bug — it will give us clarity on whether this issue is still worth mentioning in future test reports.
