Photoshop lets you set the color mode on JPGs to RGB or CMYK. I found when Firefox (Windows version 77.0.1 64-bit) renders a CMYK jpg, the colors are dramatically off compared to how Chrome and Edge render the same CMYK jpg. See attached image. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature but I thought I should report it anyway. Thanks!

Hello   VM,

Quite frankly (looking at your screenshot):   I like the way Firefox
renders the colors better, but that is of course a matter of taste.

Would you please give this a try :

Type in the address bar   about:config   and press Enter.
(ignore the warning)

Type in the search bar   gfx.color_management.mode

Change its vaue to   1  (default = 2)

Then close and restart Fireox.

Does that work for you ?
