just curious - were you doubleclicking an IE icon on desktop or a quick-launch icon on the taskbar?


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

Double clicking desktop icon.

BTW, CCleaner pulled out 567Mb of junk. Gonna stay with Firefox though. I like this! Much cleaner and neater.

I run both on my XP machine once a month. On one XP office machine I've used 5 days a week, the OS has never been reinstalled in 5 years. It's still speedy.

Also the Registry repair side of CCleaner found 137 issues... :(

Well, so far, Firefox is kicking IE's butt...

Make sure you set FF's color management settings.

Is that via Add On?

Type in:

about:config

Answer Yes to the warning question. Then scroll to:


gfx.color_management.m​ode = 1

CCleaner removes around that each time I run mine, thats about once a week. It also picks up registry issues that other software ignores.

CCleaner and Firefox = Good stuff. Been using those for awhile, glad to see you don't seem to have to many problems now. Just curious when the last time you performed a clean install.

Made the one change mentioned above in Firefox for Color Management but I'm not seeing much of a difference. In fact, things seem a little flat whereas I'd expect sRGB viewed correctly would have a little more pop.

Any change need to be made to the next command line regarding Rendering Intent?

Jay ,there is a add on that gives you a GUI and saves you going to aboutconfig

https://addons.mozilla​.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6891/ (external link)

once installed restart FF and go to tools>Add on's and select the 'options' tab from the Colour Management section.

On the Basic tab you can set your colour profile there by browsing to the colour profile folder.

The advanced tab allows you to select the rendering intent.

Below is the information of changing it via About:config

Specifying a default rendering intent

In addition, you can choose to set the value of the gfx.color_management.r​endering_intent preference to specify a default rendering intent. By default, the intent specified by images is ignored, unless you specify -1 for this value.

The following table lists the possible values.
Value Description
-1 Use embedded intent. By default, the embedded intent on images is ignored.
0 Perceptual. Directs Firefox to render the image to preserve detail throughout the tonal range of the image. Useful for general purpose display of images in typical cases, especially for photographs and other pictures.
1 Media-relative colorimetric. This rescales the color spectrum so that the white point of the rendering medium (such as the display screen) is mapped to the white point of the reference medium. This is most useful for colors that have been mapped to a medium with a smaller gamut than the reference medium.
2 Saturation. This preserves vividness of color at the expense of preservation of precision of hue. This is particularly useful for charts and diagrams, and other media whose colors should "pop" while precise duplication of hue is less important.
3 ICC-Absolute colorimetric. This is most useful for spot color and when simulating one medium on another, as it doesn't alter in-gamut colors.
