Ok, so i'm an avid user of firefox. However, just tonight I noticed an issue with it, and I can't figure out the problem. I was uploading photos onto my account on deviant art when I noticed the pictures appeared to be really washed out from their originals. I opened up safari and looked at the pictures and they looked just fine no washed out effect. However for some reason I notice now that Firefox has a really washed out look to it which I've never noticed before. Are there any settings that I could have bumped? It's a huge difference.
Edit: Ok so I downloaded Camino as a neutral application to see which one produced the washed out look and Camino has the same look as Firefox so for some reason neither of those 2 are holding the color of the image as well as safari. I don't know what could cause this. On my computer it looks just like it does in Safari but the tones are all off in Camino and Firefox
Edit: Problem solved I guess. Apparently of all the web browsers only Safari has color management and can pick up on color profiles. So therefore it retains the color values from image editing programs. Just figured I'd leave an answer in case anyone else has noticed this but I'm sure it's a well known topic. Here is a test site: http://www.color.org/version4html.html in which you can compare the effects in 2 different browsers.
