I'm having trouble with photo colors not showing up correctly using mozilla firefox. The photos have way to much contrast it looks horrible. The photos do not look like this with IE 8 nor do they look like this in Adobe Photoshop. Is there anyway I can fix it so they show up properly?

Thanks.

See Website colors are wrong, first check that Firefox is not opening in 256 color mode.

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 pref gfx.color_management.mode to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management.
You need to close and restart Firefox or maybe even reboot the computer to make the change effective.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/gfx.color_management.mode

See https://developer.mozilla.org/En/ICC_color_correction_in_Firefox

Caveats: The new QCMS color management system introduced in Firefox 3.5 currently only supports ICC version 2 color profiles, not version 4.
