Black areas are showing up as green

Since I upgraded to Firefox V:8 some of the images show the black areas (background, shadows, and the like) as a bright green. If I change to the IE engine, the problem goes away. I've messed with disabling the add-ons, without any repeatable fix. Sometimes, disabling one of them will fix the problem, until the next day, when things are messed again(?).

The problem seems to link to JPEG images, but I am not going to guarantee that just yet.

That can be caused by a problem with the color profile for your display monitor or color profiles embedded in images.
You can disable color management to test that.
You can set the pref gfx.color_management.mode to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management.
You need to close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.

Thanks, cor-el. That fixed the problem.

Was Firefox not honoring the color management settings before or something? It was working fine until the last upgrade.
