Ubuntu automatic upgrade to FF 50.0 this morning. Text and images are off color. Since that upgrade, text that should be blue is rendering red. Linking to a site with a color wheel shows several colors have shifted (pictures in typical news articles are weird do to this color shift). Problem is seen only if using FF through remote desktop (xrdp on XFCE). Viewing at console of the Ubuntu system shows normal color. Temporary regression to copy of FF 49 confirms problem is only present in FF50.0. I'll have to live with off-color FF 50.0 until some sort of fix can be presented.

Printing from off-color FF 50 is correct

A bug has been submitted on this (1319554). Until someone comes up with a fix, consider changing the value of gfx.xrender.enabled to TRUE in about:config.
