I am using firefox 3.6a and noticed something. I think it is a hint of good things to come

and I find this article and rejoiced.

imagine the impact of firefox, one of the biggest chunks of viewers online, then imagine the lowering price of monitors that display aRGB and maybe fewer of us will use sRGB in the future and no more time consuming save to webs just to convert colorspace.

yes, colour management is finally hitting the web browsers... IE is following suit as well, and so is Safari. Soon we can safely 'just save' our images and know that they won't look all wacky...

So help a color newbie here: In Firefox 3.5, which I downloaded today, color management mode should be sent to 1 and color management rendering to 0? In the article 400TMY cites, you can only see the differences in the purple box if management mode is set to 2, but that only manages tagged images.

sweet!!! thanks for posting. just installed firefox 3.5 now. Asides from the color profiling, it's supposed to be twice as fast as 3.0 too!!

Well they won't look all wacky to us, but to most people who don't calibrate their monitors, thats another story

I'm lost where do I find "gfx.color_management.mode preference" in firefox so that I can edit it to the mode I require?

Type in

about:config

in the address bar and it will bring up the hidden options.

If you then search for "management" in the filter box, it'll bring up the colour management options.
