Firefox 3.5+ on the Mac cannot automatically detect what monitor profile you are using and just assumes the profile is sRGB. So even though Firefox 3.5+ does Color Correction correctly, it won’t work correctly because it doesn’t know what the profile your monitor is.

Here is an example:

color-different.jpg

In order to get things working right you have to tell Firefox where the correct profile is. To do that you have to enter “about:config” in the location bar. Then set:

gfx.color_management.mode to 1

gfx.color_management.display_profile to the location where your profile is.

Your profile is either here: /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/

or: /Users/[username]/Library/ColorSync
