I had manually enabled Firefox' color managment, using "about:config" in the address line, and setting the boolean of color management to "true".

Now, after upgrading, the colors are way off the chart. Totally crazy and unuseable, much too red.

I went back to the settings, but there is no setting of color management that you can switch on.

Instead, this is there "gfx.color_management.mode;1"

1 probably stands for "true". I also read that Firefox 3.5.5 has color management enabled by default.

So why am I getting this candy store colors with bleeding red all over?

Is there some setting in Snow Leopard I have to change? This, and the inability to calibrate my iMac, was the present of Snow Leopard to me.

PS: Safari still displays colors correctly.

It's only Firefox that is messed up.

The weird thing is, it worked perfectly under Tiger 10.4.11

Now, under Snow Leopard, Firefox can no longer color manage.

I see there are settings "1" for rendered graphics, and "2" only for tagged images (Images with ICC profile). So, basically, there should not be any difference between 1 and 2 for tagged images.

Yes, Snow Leopard makes Firefox unable to do color management.

Here I found something that sounds like a solution: you have to show Firefox the path to the monitor profile.

Now: does anybody know HOW TO SHOW FIREFOX THE PATH TO THE MONITOR PROFILE?

what about firefox 3.6 beta 4? Might be worth a shot, especially if you're not dependent on unique, old add-ons.

I'll try that, especially as Firefox 3.5.5 can no longer put bookmarks in the proper folders since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. (they land in the folder called "bookmarks menu")

Just upgraded to 3.6 beta 4.

Color management works!

Thanks, Cold Warrior.


PS: still cannot bookmark, even on 3.6 b 4. All bookmarks disappear. I could find them in the recently bookmarked folder and drag them manually across to the right folders.

Now this recently bookmarked folder has disappeared.
