Firefox update has whacked colour management

[pschlute]

The newest 64 bit update to Firefox 113.0 has whacked colour management.

I have checked all my settings in "about:config" and they are correct, but profiles are not being honoured in images.

Using AdobeRGB wide gamut monitor (Eizo), correctly calibrated.

Anyone else seeing this ?

Yes and frankly, I have not trusted FireFox colour management in quite some time.

The colours seem to be more saturated than what I see using Chrome and Edge. I baseline this against what I see in Photoshop; which is close to what I see with Edge and Chrome.

Some discussion here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bu...zEzNTIuMC4wLjA.

Changing my settings as follows seems to have fixed it, but I do not really like changing settings without fully understanding what they do.

interesting. I have largely replaced Firefox with Vivaldi, so I hadn't noticed, but I just checked Firefox. Because I hadn't used Firefox for a bit, I had an out of date version, and gfx.color_management.native_srgb was set to false. Firefox then updated itself, and that resulted in gfx.color_management.native_srgb being set to true. So, I reset it to false.

BTW, Vivaldi is great. It is produced by one or more of the people who wrote Opera before Opera was bought by a Chinese company. It's Chromium-based and can accept most Chrome extensions, but it doesn't have the security problems of Chrome. It's very fast and can be customized in far more ways than I have figured out so far. I now use Vivaldi as my default with DuckDuckGo selected as the default search engine and disconnect.me installed. The combination is fairly secure while still being fast. When something doesn't work, which is rare with Vivaldi, I revert to Firefox. I stay away from Chrome because it leaks like a sieve.

Rolling back to version 112 also works. I just did that and colour management seems to be the same as on Chrome / Edge.

Firefox have fixed this with v113.0.1

It sets the gfx.color_management.native_srgb to false as default now.

Fixed for me too.
