One of the features I’ve missed in Firefox after I found out that such a thing as “color management” existed. This concept came forward when I got acquainted with Apple Safari for Windows.
Color Management is a standard technique defined by the International Color Consortium to ensure consistent color presentation for images no matter if they are displayed on paper, a computer monitor, an LCD TV set, fabric or any other media.
While image color improvement will not be as dramatic as I would like, the truth of the matter is, there will certainly be a difference. For example, when you take a picture with your digital camera (specially in RAW format), it not only saves information about the colors, but also the amount of light available, distance and other factors that may affect how an image is perceived. This details are stored in a color profile which as of Firefox 2 is just ignored.
In Firefox 3, these profiles are used to tune up the image to your display to better reproduce the original image; a must for amateur and professional photographers, clothing and fabric related e-stores, paint, food, and mostly everywhere a true representation of color is important.
Color management is turned off by default to prevent subtle color variations affecting the overall look of web sites. To enable it you must set gfx.color_management.enabled to true (via about:config) and restart Firefox.
I’m elated that Firefox 3 has added support for color management technology. Over the years I’ve learned to appreciate photography; mainly by reading the blogs of my good friends, Abraham Lincoln and Don Ray. Having color management feature in my web browser will greatly enhance the enjoyment of viewing color photographs.
I have plans to get my feet wet with color photographs in a couple of months when I buy myself a digital camera. Right now I’m feeding my piggy bank. 
Firefox 3 rocks!
