[SOLVED] Firefox with errornous JPEG images

b4283 · 2009-07-08 23:36:02

just found out that firefox 3 has all JPEG images rendered wrong
the hue of the images are sometimes wrong (more blue or green, or even unregconizable)
i wonder it's the problem from the new libjpeg but i can't really fall back on it,
because there's so many other packages depend on it.

does anyone has the same problem ?

Worksforme, which version of firefox do you use ? firefox 3.5 or earlier ? And can you show a wrong image ?

djgera · 2009-07-09 20:22:05

all jpeg? Please post a link to any of these jpeg.

are you on i686 or x86_64 ?

http://komica34.dreamhosters.com/04/src … 973207.jpg displays as the brown tinged image for me in FF 3.5

The image looks good here. Tested on:

My native machine (i686 and x86_64).
VirtualBox (i686 and x86_64)

Here is an screenshot [#1]:

Left FF is with libjpeg7 (chroot) (i686)
Right FF is with libjpeg6 (i686)

ok, that's just weird for me.
can anyone give a good reason my image is broken in firefox ?

*update: I just killed everything under ~/.mozilla and start with a new profile, the result is the same.

That image is brown in GIMP, feh, FF, Inkscape, and everything webkit here. Basically my entire system sees the brown image.

probably less likely than something to do with the new libjpeg, but Firefox does have color management so maybe something is funky there.

b4283 · 2009-07-12 14:59:11

but it were some color profiling went wrong, then all images in firefox should be affected altogether.

in my case, broken image only happens occasionally on some specific images.
since everybody else's firefox is working okay, I don't really know what to do now... perhaps, it has something to do with catalyst ?

Can you try to start X with the "vesa" driver?

b4283 · 2009-07-13 13:59:12

I can't believe this, it is really fglrx that's messing with me.

Starting X with "vesa" module worked like a charm, seeing the brown image.

Firefox color profiling support is buggy and may result in wrong color profile in some images. Disable it in about:config and check if it helps.

b4283 · 2009-07-15 05:04:46

blesse: thanks for the bip, it helped big time.

btw, for those who has the same problem,
the options in about:config has a prefix of "gfx.color_management"
change the mode to "0".

Just tossing this out there: I had the same problem, Blasse's method worked also.
