Many png images are displaying the wrong color. For example one page the png's are green when they should be blue. On the page linked below the laptop and person are bright pink. When I save pngs and open them using other software (or use another browser) the colors are correct. I am using Firefox 6 on Ubuntu 11.04 on a MacPro

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 if the problem is the color profile on the computer.
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 to make the change effective.

See:

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

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
  • Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
  • Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
