(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[tim roche]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

Jpeg images render with the color very desaturated in the firefox window, If the image is saved and opened in another browser, or an image viewer, the file appears with the correct saturation.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a .jpg image file
2.open the same file in another browser (i used safari and preview(mac))
3.compare, the image in firefox will be much more toned down

Actual Results:  
washed out photo

Expected Results:  
reproduced colors correctly

this is most noticable in images with subtle color such as the one in the example URL, I was quite frustrated with flickr for messing up my photos until i tried looking at them in safari.  I believe this problem exists for windows as well
