I'm using firefox 97 on mac. Whenever I copy and paste an image from firefox, the image comes out desaturated as if it is using the wrong color profile. I tried changing the gfx.color_management settings without it improving. The images look fine and are the right colors in the browser, however, the issue only happens when I copy and paste images. Firefox behaves like the color management is disabled (set to 0 in config) but ONLY when copying and pasting images.

I do not have this issue with other browsers such as chrome.

Some related bugs:

  • 1431518 - Image "copy to clipboard" produces the wrong colors, due to losing image's color profile
  • 1497973 - Firefox does not show correct colors when displaying a URL of a JPEG with sRGB in the ICC tags
  • 455077 - Enable full color_management by default (i.e. set gfx.color_management.mode = 1)
