Got this in an email today.....

Firefox Â® 3 Offers Color Management

The only recent web browser to support color management, and use your custom display profile to display images, has been Safari. Safari is the most common browser on the Mac, but not at all common under Windows, so most Windows users have not had the opportunity to see managed color in browser windows.

Firefox Â® v3 offers managed browser color to a wider audience, and supports both Mac and Windows. Firefox 3 is now in public beta, to download a copy go to: //www.mozilla.com

To turn on color management under Firefox 3 enter the following text in the address bar: about:config

Next enter the following into the filter line: color_management

Change gfx.color_management.enabled to: true

Restart Firefox to activate this change and enjoy your color managed web browsing!

Sidenote: For those who use Greasemonkey to use DPCmods, they may not work until Greasemonkey is updated.

Since you are on the subject of Firefox, I thought I would mention that Mozilla is trying to get into the Guinness book of records for the most downloads of software in a single day when they make the official release of FF 3.0. More info here

Last and final bump. Calibrating your monitor using a Huey, Spyder, etc.? Use a browser that will take advantage of the profile you've created.
