[SOLVED] Images look dull and "washed out" in Firefox

In Firefox 34.0.5 in Cinnamon 2.4.5 images look dull "washed out" when compared to thumbnails in Nemo and previews in Eye of Gnome. I'm using the "nvidia" driver from the official repos for:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 760] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device 361c
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia

I remember having the same issue a while back on another computer, and I can't remember how I resolved the problem.

Anyone know why this may be? I know absolutely nothing about colour management unfortunately.

Re: [SOLVED] Images look dull and "washed out" in Firefox

A combination of setting the colour profile to my monitor's model in Cinnamon/GNOME's colour settings window and deleting Firefox's cache seems to have resolved the issue.
