Firefox display wrong blue (it looks purple)

[Jorge García]

Blue tones that look properly in any other application (image viewer, Chromium, etc.) looks weird (in purple tones) in Firefox.
I'm attaching a screenshot of a picture in Firefox and the same in Chrome.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. This bug was reported some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) reached end-of-life on April 28, 2017.

Does anyone still see a problem related to the one that was reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
