PC is 64 bit I7 core processor, Windows 7 - I have compaired IE 32 bit and 64 bit rendering of color to that of firefox which seems to render differently the same color is different on different parts of screen.

Other users of firefox are not seeing this problem - they are using same version of firefox on older operating systems.

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 or maybe even reboot the computer to make the change effective.
