Hi,
I've noticed a problem that causes .png files (and I think only that type) to display incorrectly on the BBC website. It may happen elsewhere but I haven't noticed. Where most images (jpg) display correctly, .png files display in a dark blue monochrome. Has anyone else see this?
I'm running XP SP3 and Pale Moon 26.4.0 (Atom/Win XP) - although it's happened on the last few Pale Moon iterations as well.

Re: .png files on BBC website
What I get:
1) http://images.sixrevisions.com/2010/11/17-05_rss_png24.png 2) https://dab1nmslvvntp.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/logosavedasjpeg.png Do you get something different with either of these two URL links?
If so please post a screen-shot of your results and if so what extensions have you added to Pale Moon since this issue has been occurring?

Re: .png files on BBC website
Have found the problem elsewhere as well as BBC.
Attached are screen shots of the two images requested...
Curiously they are almost negatives of what I saw on my monitor. The smaller image comes out blue, whilst the second comes out in colour and the screen dumps attached show the opposite.
The only addons I have are Uppity and Adblock Latitude. I have tried disabling the latter but it made no difference.

Re: .png files on BBC website
Can you check if setting gfx.color_management.mode to 0 in about:config corrects this issue for you?
If so, you need to either leave color-management mode off or calibrate color on your monitor for proper ICC display of color-corrected images.

Re: .png files on BBC website
Wonderful! That's fixed it!
Thank you so much. Odd that this should happen, when I've not had the same problem with Firefox - or perhaps it's not. Anyway that parameter was set to 2 and is now 0.

Re: .png files on BBC website
Firefox doesn't support the same level of ICC color correction we do. We're not Firefox.
The main issue is that your color isn't calibrated in Windows. I don't think there's an easy way to do this on XP either if it's way wrong like in your case unless with external tools. Disabling Pale Moon's ICC color management system is the easiest solution in that case, as you've now done.
