FireDragon seems to display images in unusually dark colors

Issues & Assistance FireDragon
1

I am a huge fan of FireDragon, I think it looks amazing and runs well. However, one huge issue I have is that the colors on pictures displayed on Fire Dragon are unusually dark. This isn't applied on websites, but usually jpegs and pngs. The new tab page on FIreDragon seems dark as well. I would like to fix this issue since I am an artist, and it is a bit cumbersome to open up another web browser just to get color-accurate images.
(I cannot upload images due to being a new user, so I will link them.)

Rebooted just now. No difference, unfortunately.

Could you provide the full URL (blogspot.com) of that cute little beaver?
Yes I know it's there in the screenshot, but it's a long URL with every possible character and there's too many chances I make a typo. :smiley:

Also the question is "Which one is right? Chromium or Firedragon?"
Both look possible to me.
How certain are you Chromium would display the accurate colors?

https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-e1__gaQz8fw/Uobv-jn36aI/AAAAAAAAFLk/srSymnOIVog/s1600/Capybara-Animals-Pictures.jpg is the link.

I found a solution. It was unusually, a color profile issue. The solution was to change the color profile to both of my monitors to be of the "D65" color profile. I don't understand why that gave FireDragon/Firefox issues, though...

I was certain Chromium displayed the correct colors, because I checked the image on my phone and it displayed the same colors as it was in Chromium.

Ok that's great you found it, cuz on my end the beaver displays exactly like in Chromium link you posted. You were right.

Subjectively, I'd say the Firedragon one is too dark and the Chromium one is too light/desaturated.
I think it's a Firefox thing rather than Firedragon specific.
Maybe something to do with color profiles?
