To turn it on, type <CODE>about:config</CODE> in Firefox 3's address bar, then click the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button. Then, in the Filter field, type <B>gfx.color_management.enabled</B> and set that value to <B>true</B> (its default value is false). Restart Firefox. From there on in, your photo colors will be richer than they were. Why isn't this value true by default? Well, according to Mozilla, you'll see a 10-15% performance hit using this setting, but if you've got a reasonably fast machine, it'll be worth the better-looking photos.
