Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.


This can be caused by a problem with the color profile for your display monitor or color profiles embedded in images.
You can disable color management to test that.
You can set the gfx.color_management.mode pref to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management.
You need to close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.

Maybe the images have transparent parts and some background is leaking through.

What are the default colors?

Do you see the same if you open such an image in a tab?

You can look at this extension to set your preferred background color and remove the centering if you display a single image in a tab.
