Why Firefox doesn't respect image color profiles for jpg-files? When is it going to start doing this?

Firefox ignores embedded color profiles for jpg-files, maybe for all other image files as well. E.g., open this url in Internet Explorer and in Firefox. http://serguei.ru/2010-07-20-Singapore-Flyer/slides/Flyer_0528.html The difference in colors is huge! IE shows colors correctly, just like any other image viewer or image editing program. FF just ignores sRGB color profile and result is awful. Q: when FF is going to support color profiles of jpg and other image files?

I don't know if this is related, but I just spent a couple of hours on something extremely frustrating.
Check out these three images:

http://www.fine-art.com/bg2.jpg
http://www.fine-art.com/bg3.jpg

Notice the blue in the middle of each image. It is #0d92d7 when I create the images. However, if you look at them through the browser the *last two* change. Copy and paste them into photoshop and they are now #408dd7?!? If you right-click and download the files they are the same, but if you copy and past (or look at them in the browser or screen cut), the last two become different. I've tried using .png and .gif and had the same issue. I could live with it if it changed all the images, buy why only the last two? They are fine in IE.

Any ideas?
