Extended Color Management

Ever wish that Firefox didn't use color management when viewing images or video? Turn it off easily with this add-on.

Extended Color Management Firefox Add-on

Extended Color Management is a Firefox add-on designed to assist with color management in image and video viewing. It allows users to enable or disable color pass-through. When enabled, Firefox essentially bypasses its own color management system and that of the operating system, providing the user with the content in its original colors. This add-on requires access to your data for all websites for optimal operation.
