Since using 3.5, beta and now final, the color pallet is wonky. Any ideas where to start? I also tried the official Mozilla release of (32bit) 3.5. Same result. If I download the images and open them in other programs, including Firefox 3.0.11, they look normal.

9.04 x64
Firefox 3.5 from ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ppa/ubuntu

I had this same problem, I fixed it by turning off firefox 3.5's new color management system. To do this:



type about:config in the address bar
locate the boolean gfx.color_management.mode
right click and select modify. Enter 0 as the new value

Big Thanks. This helped. Why is this not the default setting?
