348583 - Dull colors in graphics files; Incorrect colors in graphics files

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 16769

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Mr. Goodbytes]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6

Image files displayed in firefox are dull.  When I look at the same images in other applications the colors appear correct.  For example, when I view an image with other programs (photoshop, IE, safari, os x preview, etc...) the image looks the same in all programs.  When I view the same image in firefox it looks dull or less saturated.  Find a nice colorful photo and view it with firefox and safari side-by-side and you will see what I mean.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a colorful photo
2. A - B it in firefox and another program that shows images
3. Notice the difference

Actual Results:  
I noticed that colors seemed dull in firefox but not in the other application.

Expected Results:  
The software should have shown the image exactly like the other application showed the image.
