Certain pictures are arbitrarily high contrast or inverted colors while others aren't.

This is a strange issue I've been having that seems to affect some pictures and not others (even in the same album). Some pictures seem to be arbitrarily inverted colors (or something else equally bizzare, very unnaturally colored pictures - possibly high contrast). It only appears in pictures, all page formatting, fonts, etc are normal. It's not page specific either - happens in facebook and certain other sites (google image search seems to be fine though - no problems there). It seems to be happening in Firefox only, as I haven't noticed it either offline or in chromium.

Specs: Ubuntu 11.04 Firefox 4.0.1 GC: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650

This problem started for me immediately after installing a new Radeon HD 4680 PCIe video card. Am running openSuse 11.2 and FFox 3.6.17

This can be caused by a problem with the color profile for your display monitor or color profiles embedded in images.
You can disable color management to test that.
You can set the pref gfx.color_management.mode to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management.
You need to close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.
