Some images look grey-ish, using firefox at ubuntu 12.10
Hello, I am using Firefox v23 at ubuntu 12.10 (64bit).
I tried creating a new profile, nothing. Tried unistall with sudo apt-get purge firefox which removed firefox and some other firefox-tied apps, re-installed, still nothing.
This is how a page looks in firefox: http://i.stack.imgur.com/8v2h4.png
and how it looks in chrome: http://i.stack.imgur.com/IISa4.png
Notice the image, it's a bit grey. I have also installed the Old image style extension and it simply doesn't work. What can I do?

You can check the default text and background color.
Also make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
- Edit > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

You can try to disable color management to test if it is caused by a problem with color management.
You can set the gfx.color_management.mode pref to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management.
You need to close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.

Does it look any better if you view it directly compared with viewing it embedded in a web page? (I think the old image style extension only relates to viewing images on their own.)

@jscher2000: No, it still looks the same..
@cor-el: This is already checked at the colors menu. But setting the gfx.color_management.mode pref to 0 fixed the problem! Wow! I can browse the web correctly now :) Thank you very much for that!
It's interesting because I thought that setting only affected JPEG images. I didn't realize it could affect PNG images as well.
