Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Firefox, using standard settings, renders a jpeg containing an embedded sRGB color profile with different colors than a jpeg lacking an embedded profile. Firefox's rendering of the jpeg containing a color profile is also different from that of other applications.
How to reproduce:
0) Make sure you have the default Firefox color-management settings:
gfx.color_
gfx.color_
gfx.color_
1) Load a jpeg having an embedded sRGB color profile in Firefox.
2) Load a profile-stripped version of the same jpeg in another Firefox tab.
3) Compare the images.
Expected result: The two images should look exactly the same.
Actual result: The two images have different colors.
You can also load the images in Gimp and compare to Firefox's rendering.
You can achieve identical rendering of profiled and non-profiled images by turning off color management completely in Firefox.

In all fairness, it is only on one of my three machines I can see this problem.
