Could not reproduce in 3.1b2 on XP SP3, using either the English or Polish versions. Weird. Maybe check your plugins? They carry-over to new profiles and safe mode.

I think this is a color management issue.
Disable it in about:config for a test.
Could be a broken ICC profile on your systerm or it could be a dupe of the PNG bug but I believe that one is OS X or linux only.

Creating new profile (with no addons) didn't help. 
Even http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.1b2/firstrun/ page and "New tab" button was displayed in a bad way.
Setting gfx.color_management.mode value to 0 in about:config helped. Everything looks fine now.

Which Monitor are you using ?
This looks like a broken ICC profile for your Monitor

D.J. - This looks egregious enough that we should be able to detect it.

First, try downloading one of the nightly builds from 
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/
and set gfx.color_management.mode=2 and see if you still have problems. - I recently landed a bunch of bogus profile detection code.

If not, can you find the .ICC or .ICM profile your system is using for your display?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20081206 Minefield/3.2a1pre - same errors.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20081207 Minefield/3.2a1pre - ok!

System is using sm757dm color profile (this profile was installed with my SyncMaster 757DFX driver).

D.J. - great! That corresponds right to the window where I landed bug 460629 and bug 460520, so it makes perfect sense.

I also landed this code in the firefox 3.1 tree on monday. Can you also make sure that things are fixed with the latest 3.1 nightlies?

Thanks for your help.

I am seeing this same problem with http://new.sitemorse.com/ni/g/sitemorse.png , the background (which should be 'ffffff') was coming out yellow in 3.1b2.

Downloading the nightly as described in comment #7 fixed the problem.

nice - resolving as fixed

Attachment: Problematic color profile

Attaching a color profile I could use to reproduce the issue. Not sure it is the same one the reporter is using but it creates the same effect. And - yes, the issue is fixed now.

Btw, judging by the file name this comes from drivers for the Samsung SM957DF display.
