Don't know why colours would be strange, there's nothing special about the files, and by default Firefox doesn't do anything to the colours.

If you're getting it, try going to about:config, and setting the "gfx.color_management.mode" preference to 0 (default's 2)

Running 3.0.10, see no updates.

-1

It won't show up there yet, it's not final. If your running the lastest stable release of Firefox you need to manually download and install the preview. However, if your running an earlier build of Firefox 3.5 then you should be able to auto update to the preview build. Well that is how I understand it, so take with a grain of salt.

The way I understand it, Safari was the only browser that handled the embedded color setting thing (insert term here) in images. But now the new Firefox will also recognize them as well.

Yep, 3.0 can do it too but it's disabled by default. By default 3.5 behaves like Safari, but can be forced to do it properly for all images.

That's what the setting does, 0 disables it entirely, 1 enables it for everything, and 2 makes it behave like Safari.

The colours in the screenshots are wrong, so that's a bug.

The colours will match (internally to the page) if it's doing it properly, they'll just be more accurate (as in, they'll look similar on 2 correctly configured computers). Compare this page with the 3 different modes, only full colour correction gets you matching colours, http://alex.thefrapp.com/files/cm-test/cm-test.php

Setting gfx.color_management.mode to 1 was the answer 4 me. TY.

I've had to go back to 3010 today as I found a bug in the preview where for some reason it kept losing cookies so I had to sign into iGoogle every time the browser loaded for example. Also my saved passwords suddenly vanished for every site! luckily I keep mozbackup backups so was able to restore them easily.

Gonna wait for final I think :)

BTW Firefox is the prettiest browser with a little tweaking IMO.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
