I am having an issue with Firefox rendering a few of the .png's that I have loaded into a Wordpress blog that I am preparing for a client. The images look fine in IE 8 & 9, and chrome, but it looks very off in Mozilla. I was informed by our other UX guy that Firefox complies with embedded color profiles that may warp the tint of your image. You can view the tint shift by going to :

If anybody has any idea of how to over ride the color profile, I'd definitely appreciate the heads up!
Thanks
Here is an image that shows the difference that I am seeing.

The difference in rendering is due to an ICC color profile embedded in the image. When Firefox finds a color profile it will combine it with the color profile of the display and adjust image rendering accordingly. This will normally make sure that the image is displayed the same on different displays. However, it might also cause undesired effects if the display profile is incorrect.
At least Windows 7 allows you to calibrate display colors. Not sure whether this feature was also present in earlier Windows versions but they definitely allowed selecting a color profile file in the advanced display settings - you could replace the driver-supplied profile by sRGB.
If you absolutely don't want different image display on different computers then you should just remove the color profile from the image with a tool like jStrip and pngcrush.

Having a website look the same on different browsers has been an ongoing issue for the web designers all over the world. The reason is simple - the visualization of a website depends on many different variables such as:
The visitor's OS (operating system)
The visitor's display resolution
How the browser interprets the page
The visitor's OS
If your website uses submit buttons, radio buttons, check boxes and edit fields, all of them will be visualized depending on the visitor's OS and its style. For example, a submit button can look like a gray rectangle on your Windows Classic theme, and like an oval if you use the XP style. As a workaround, you can create custom buttons for your website.
The code of an ordinary submit button looks like this:
You can replace it with the following code in order to specify the submit button image:
Submit
Similar changes can be made for the other parts of your website's interface. Consulting a professional web designer or searching the Internet will be necessary to solve all of the possible issues.
Visitor's display resolution
Display resolution is affecting quite a lot the way a website is displayed. For example, if you create your pages at 1024x768 they will not fit into the screen of a visitor that has set his/her resolution to 800x600.
In order to fix this, you should not use static dimensions for your website, i.e. instead of setting width = 1024px you can use width = 100%. This will not fix all issues but at least will make the page fit into the screen.
How the browser interprets the page or website's cross-browser compatibility
Web browsers do not render pages pixel by pixel. They read the entire code and produce an output depending on your code. There are, however, differences in the code interpretation. Therefore you should check the way your website looks on different browsers and operating systems. You can use the following online tool in order see how your pages look on different browsers:

A good website should look the same and all its features should work in any browser.
Unfortunately, there is no easy solution for that. You should check the specificities of each browser that fails to display your website correctly and make the necessary adjustments to your code. A skilled website developer should be familiar with most common browser compatibility issues and should be able to assist you. Such compatibility issues may occur not only in different browsers but because of an old browser version which does not support completely the latest standards.
In conclusion, you should test your websites on as many different browsers and operating systems as possible. If you spot any errors, you should try searching on the Internet for a specific solution for the issue or contact a skilled developer who may assist you in resolving it.
I am having issues getting my Instagram images to display properly. I have tried all types of tricks and changes but cannot get it to look consistent on both desktop and mobile. It looks perfect when at full window size and across all browsers (except mobile), but when I change the size of the browser viewing window it gets all weird.
Here is my issue:
I need all the horizontal Instagram images to be responsive, meaning when I do change the size of the browser window they will adjust to the dimensions that are appropriate to view them properly. I want them to always stay in a row of 5 images across...
Here is a link to the work in progress:

I have tried modifying the instapress.css to the best of my abilities but now I'm just stuck. I tried using percentages instead of pixels in some places but it's still not working...
What im reading online is that until version 3 nivo slider is not responsive, so you might want to update the library.
http://nivo.dev7studios.com/2012/05/30/the-nivo-slider-is-responsive/
Also i noticed that you're calling the tag twice (the first one is between the ie class compatibility code) so watch out for that too.
I was playing with adaptative CSS by changing my Google Chrome window size when I noticed that the Twitter Bootstrap page seems to "make google chrome fail" on certain occasions.
Steps to reproduce (from a desktop computer):
Start with a blank Google Chrome tab, full screen
Visit http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/
Gradually make the window narrower, letting go the mouse every 100 pixels or so.
Keep going until you get the "totally mobile version", at around 400px (The blue "View project on github" button is on top of the white "Download Bootstrap" button, and they are both full-width).
Now make the window thick again, letting the mouse go after every 20 pixels or so.
Chances are that you will get weird behaviour while doing steps 4 or 5 - Chrome gets confused about the sizes, or forgets to draw a vertical region of the page (which is rendered white). I've also managed to get a "phantom side pane" in some rare occasions.
I've tried in two different computers, and I still get the same issues (both using Ubuntu 12)
The thing is, other responsive sites don't have this issue. See for example http://css-tricks.com/ . You can change its size all you want, and Chrome never has any trouble rendering the multiple layouts it has (in fact, it has more layouts than twitter bootstrap).
So I can only conclude that this problem is twitter-bootstrap-specific. Probably related with the way the CSS rules or HTML content is written, or maybe related with the way files are structured.
I'm using twitter bootstrap as a base for one of my sites, and I'd like to solve this issue. Does anyone have any ideas on how to proceed?
If you believe this is bootstrap-specific this should be posted to the Twitter Bootstrap Github Pages instead of SO. However, I've been participating in an issue ticket reg. this which was closed after we pointed out that we're unable to reproduce the error on both Chrome / OS X and Chrome / Win 7 with the same browser build as the OP. This suggest that this is a platform specific chrome-error rather than a problem with the Bootstrap toolkit. With that said, I'd raise a ticket with the chrome team including your build # and OS/Platform setup.

I have a very strange from when testing a website on Chrome.
The CSS is exactly the same but appears different. Plus tested on the same monitor.
Firefox
Chrome
You can see from the Chrome print screen the background image I am using for the knives/forks, its the background color of this image which changes.
The background image at http://www.cater-shawrecruitment.co.uk/webapp/templates/default/images/bgpage.jpg has an embedded colour profile, which different browsers will interpret differently. You'll need to re-render the image without the embedded colour profile.
This is probably caused by using photoshop to simply 'Save' the JPG, rather than 'Save for web'ing.
Chances are, your image has a color profile applied, and thus is being rendered differently in Chrome and Firefox, which only the former of these two will actually respect it. Reading off of Chris Coiyer's article on web color profiles, you can fix the problem by doing as follows:
If you "Save As..." from the file menu, you will have the opportunity to save your color profile along with the image. If you "Save for Web & Devices..." the "sRGB" (best for the web) color profile will be automatically applied (in CS3 anyway).
this is something to do with colorprofiles.

and this
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=143
check your colorprofiles in photoshop (cmd+shift+k) and try to recreate the image. should work.
If you change the image to be png it will be the same color. The reason is in the link of #Nightfirecat and in #graphicdivine 's answer.
Chrome renders #FF3A00 as #FF0000 for some reason. I included a screenshot from jsfiddle to illustrate the point. The colour that the Color Meter reports (and what I see) differs from what CSS says.
This happens to other colours too. For example, #FFAF00 is rendered as #FFA400 according to the Color Meter.
However, the colours are rendered without problems on Safari and Firefox. I'm on a Mac using Chrome 11, Safari 5 and Firefox 5.
I'm sure there's a logical explanation. Any ideas?
Update: I'm attaching a screenshot of Chrome next to Safari showing the very same page. I checked this image in Photoshop: the colours are #F00 in Chrome and #FF3A00 in Safari.
Ok, as it turned out, I needed to restart my Chrome. I often connect my macbook air to a 24 inch monitor. It looks like Chrome displays the colours incorrectly when I change to a monitor that's different from what was used when Chrome was started.
I found the answer on the Google Help forum : "I should mention that in OS X, every time you change your monitor or monitor profile (e.g. if you switch from your laptop display to your external display), you MUST restart Chrome for it to get the proper monitor profile information from the OS."
By default both Firefox and Safari use the sRGB color profile. You must do the same, if your Google Chrome takes a different color profile as default.
Access at Chrome: chrome://flags/#force-color-profile
Change Force color profile to "sRGB".
Relaunch your browser and testify the rendered colors now.
I recently posted a similar question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6338077/google-chrome-for-mac-css-colors-and-display-profiles
As Andrew Marshall answered there, this is a known issue: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=44872
Mac has color correction set up for your monitor. Your browser may or may not use color correction for web content/images depending on its setup. Your color picker reports what your OS thinks it is rendering. Your browser may report something else.
Color on computers. Something many of us take for granted but never bothered to understand how it is rendered.
Chrome color picker works by taking color from current monitor color profile,and the problem may happens by changing color setting or sometime change monitor, please check the below method to solve.
Go to chrome://flags/#force-color-profile and click Reset all to default
Thanks.
In case someone else come here because firefox images looks too colorful (over saturated).
Full guide on how to fix it https://cameratico.com/color-management/firefox/
Shortly:
Type in about:config on your Firefox address bar
Set gfx.color_management.mode to 1
Set gfx.color_management.enablev4 to true
Restart firefox
Now Firefox will display colors same as Safari, Chrome and all other browsers
I changed the Colour Profile in OS X and that sorted it for me.
See the screenshots below using different Color Profile. Note, in the screenshots I'm trying to differentiate between #ff00ff, #ff1aff, #ff33ff and #ff4dff. It's only when I don't choose the default OS X colour profile that I can differentiate the colours correctly.
Default colour profile:
With a different colour profile:
From: CSS colors on OS X displaying correctly in Firefox but incorrectly in Safari and Chrome (potentially 'solved')
I found Safari and Chrome could not differentiate between #ff00ff, #ff1aff, #ff33ff and #ff4dff. But Firefox could. In addition Inkscape, an X11 app, could. But Gimp and Libreoffice Writer, non X11 apps, could not. Firefox and X11 apps seem to be using their own colour profile somehow.
I have no idea why Mac defaults to Color LCD profile which does not do this differentiation amongst others.
Had this problem with Chrome (Lubuntu) when exporting a PNG in Photoshop. Solution: File -> Save As -> Uncheck "ICC Profile: Adobe RGB (1998)".
