Appreciate the heads-up pschlute. Thanks. I had been wondering...
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

Thanks for the headsup - and (from a relative Firefox tyro) how/where do can those settings be found?

In a browser address bar type: about:config then accept the warning type gfx.color and you will find them. Thanks for the headsup - and (from a relative Firefox tyro) how/where do can those settings be found?

Many thanks and now found that and changed the line you highlighted to "false"jeallen01 wrote:

However, in my FF setup, the line “gfx.color_managment.mode” (i.e. the line above the one you highlighted) shows a setting of "2" instead of the "1" shown in your screen clip.
Is the difference significant, and if so should I change mine to "1"?

My understanding has always been that 1 applies colour management to all items (images and graphics), whearas 2 only applies it to tagged images.

Thanks and that makes some sense as my FF was (accidently!) reinstalled a couple of weeks ago and I have not tweaked it much since then - therefore if "2" is the default setting then that is almost certainly what would have been set by that re-installation.jeallen01 wrote:

OTOH, if that is the situation, then I'll ponder as to whether it is the "best" one for me, or whether I should change it to "1"???
PS: my monitors are pretty basic 20" & 22" ones and quite old - so not modern "high spec" ones.

Firefox have fixed this with v113.0.1
It sets the gfx.color_management.native_srgb to false as default now.

From the Mozzilla help forums, I have discovered settings which appear to fix it, although I do not generally like changing settings without knowing exactly what they do. Settings are below.
