Set your default color space to sRGB and do not embed the ICC profile in your images. That way it should standardize across the most popular browsers.

You might have to turn on color management in one or both of your browsers, or turn it off in both.

I can understand your gripe but most people's monitors are not calibrated. They probably won't care or notice the difference. Your images are very good. I don't suspect that slight variations in color are going to turn people off from hiring you.

That is not a solution.

The images posted to the web are not for his consumption, and expecting the general public to change their browsers' color management settings prior to visiting a phtographer's website is a ludicrous notion.

Dear me! No need to be quite so damning!

His solution works but it is true that it is best to correct the images. In my opinion people who don't understand these issues (no offence to the OP intended) should only be using sRGB until they do understand them. In my admittedly limited experience the benefits of colourspaces other than sRGB are outweighed by the potential to make mistakes!

I never stated, suggested or even implied that the general public should be expected to change its browser's college management prior to visiting his website. On the contrary, I suggested that the photographer should just forget about the color issue and present the images as-is.
