(Whiteboard: [e10s]) 

Sometimes images seem to be in the wrong color. People look blue etc.
The URL you saw this on would be useful.
I can't reproduce this on OSX.
I haven't seen this in a while and I can't reproduce it on the linked paged.
This is still happening to me pretty regularly.
This look like our typical swapped RB channels bug. We tend to consider pixel formats as if R and B were swapped and manually swap them in the shader in the end when compositing. Jeff knows more than me about this I think.

This happens to me quite often when using OMTC on Linux with an nvidia driver. Please let me know if I can help to debug it. It's gotten to the point where I don't even know what color anything is supposed to be.
I'm not sure how to help here and don't have time to look at this in more detail right now.

I'm changing the bug title to reflect the fact that this isn't specific to e10s. It happens to anyone who wants to use OMTC on Linux.

In bug 908859, :johns saw this with binary NVidia and open-source radeon drivers, with or without hardware acceleration, and I'm still seeing with with open-source Intel graphics drivers. So it's not the drivers or chipsets.

I can pretty consistently see this in the graph on https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/daily?p=Firefox
It looks like this may be fixed by bug 910488 (bug 910488 comment 5)
I think Matt eventually fixed this for real, but I can't remember the bug number.
