Some images render with the wrong colors. It happens with some .jpg images and some .png images. I have noticed this several times.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/touchbook/
2.See purpleish background color
3.Weep
Actual Results:  
The background image renders as a purpleish color.

Expected Results:  
Expected to see a red background. The background is actually a redish color. It renders properly in FF 3.0.10.

This is from the Mozilla Daily Builds PPA from Launchpad. See attached screen shot for comparison. I can attach other system info if that will help, or if it will help determine that it is a problem with my desktop setup.

Try this:
1. put about:config into the address bar, enter, click through any warning
2. paste gfx.color_management.mode into the filter box
3. double-click that pref to edit the value to 0
4. restart Firefox and see the photos look normal again
5(i) investigate the faulty color correction profile your monitor has to change it, or
5(ii) throw your monitor out the window.

Mardeg, that fixed it. Please elaborate more on this:

Is this something I should report to Ubuntu? If so, to which package?
