Bug Description
Firefox 19.0 on Xubuntu 12.10 on a Late 2005 Apple Mac mini.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Firefox.
2. Navigate to an image-heavy website (Flickr, for instance). Note that some images have a blue tint.
3. If you already have enough of a browsing history, open a new tab and observe that the screenshots of your most visited pages also look too blue.
Downgrading back to version 18.2 makes the problem go away, although using an outdated browser is not much of a workaround.
I can test if required.

Bug 486918 added new image resizers from SKIA. Since this was enabled resized images on my ppc32 machine show up with a blue tint.
The convolver code extracts the RGBA bits from each 32 bit pixel but doesn't take the endian order into account.
