Firefox is not reproducing the colors of a JPG correctly (IE is fine)

I'm designing a website, so I care about this. The problem is the display of a critical background on the site which is based on a smoothly dithered JPG image.
I have 4 test cases for this particular dithered jpg image:
1) Win 7 64-bit Firefox (v5.0 - most recent)
2) Win 7 64-bit IE (v9)
3) XP SP3 32-bit laptop Firefox (v5.0 - most recent)
4) XP SP3 32-bit laptop IE (v8)
Only case (3) has an issue.
The dithered JPG image runs from #336633 (top) to #669933 (bottom) - a dithered range of greens. When opened directly from the laptop in the browser (file/open), it displays differently only in case (3). In all other cases, color-pixel tools (e.g., Instant Eyedropper) identify the top and bottom colors correctly as #336633 and #669933. For case (3), the colors are identified as #227B37 and #52B833.
There is another area of the same website page that uses the image which is set via CSS to #669933, and it displays properly.
When this JPG is opened directly in various other image viewing tools on the laptop, it is correct. Only case (3) is different.
This is so bad I will have to drastically change the website design. Before I do so, can you advise me in any way about what is going wrong?

Do the images have an embedded color profile?
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.

Firefox is not displaying the correct font color on my blog, but other browsers are.

I have a web designer issue. Firefox is not displaying the correct font color on the header in my blog. Explorer, Chrome, and Safari have no problems. The page is in css but this particular section has html code o designate color. The code is as follows:
blog
Though all other browsers display the light orange color designated, Firefox displays white. Strangely, if if retype the code by spelling out a color, Firefox displays it correctly. i.e.
blog
... will give me black. You can see the effect by viewing the link below and looking at the word "blog" in the header, which should be light orange but is not in Firefox.

Actually it also seems to work in the current Firefox 4 beta as it is.
The code is not right though - the correct syntax for the color attribute with hex values is with a # at the start, so:
color="#FF9966"
It might work in Firefox 3.x if you change that.

In Firefox can not see the Downloads window, in the jump in the boot to be seen - the download speed Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

I hate the new downloads-in-a-tab scheme. This was an unnecessary change in my book (if it aint broke, don't "fix it").
So in order to get it back, I performed the about:config browser.download.useToolkitUI change, but now all I get is a blank download window that pops up every time I download something.
Is there something else that I need to do? I've checked the change and it was saved, but it didn't resolve my issue as much as it just caused me a new issue.

Can not control the color in JOGL

I am a beginner to use JOGL.
I find that I can not control the color, both background and foreground. The background is always Black, and foreground is always Red.
I use canvas.setBackground(Color),
gl.glColor3*(), trying to change the color. But it does not work.
What is the problem?
Thanks.
Toby

A big help for learning JOGL is reading the Red Book from OpenGL, which can be downloaded in pdf. Since JOGL is almost a direct wrapper, the function calls are identical.
To set the background color, you need to add a GLEventListener to the GLCanvas that you're using. To set the background color, in your init() method for GLEventListener do:
public void init(GLAutoDrawable glad) {
GL gl=glad.getGL();
gl.glClearColor(r,g,b);
or something similar, I'm not on my normal computer so this was all from memory. Check the JOGL API for the exact method name for glClearColor. To change the foreground color, there are a bunch of various methods that are all similar to glColor3f(float r,float g,float b).
Calling this on the GL object in the display() method will set the foreground color and everything drawn that isn't using lighting will use this color.

Nik Software Crash: "Could not complete the Color Efex Pro 4 command because of a problem with-"

Nik Software/Photoshop Crash: "Could not complete the Color Efex Pro 4 command because of a problem with the filter module interface." Define, Viveza work fine, the others, Color Efex, HDR Efex, Silver Efex don't. I called Nik and they said they were familiar with this problem and that it was an Adobe problem. They helped me uninstall and re-install the latest version of the filters. Didn't fix the problem. I called Adobe technical support, they confirmed that indeed it was an Adobe problem, but, they can't help me because they no longer offer support on CS5. I'm on an iMac with Mountian Lion 10.8.5, running Photoshop CS5.1. I searched the internet and found this problem mentioned in several places, just couldn't find the fix. Interesting coincidence - I had been using Photoshop and the Nik software perfectly fine, even the morning of the day it began to crash. I got a pop-up message from Adobe asking if they could anonymously monitor my usage to better their products. I clicked on "Ask me later." Then, my product crashed every time I tried to use the above-mentioned Nik software filters. ??? Why would they want to monitor my usage of a product they won't/don't support anyway? Help someone please - I really love the Nik software. I paid top dollar for it back in the day because people like Dan Hughes actually answered your questions themselves. The customer support was the best in the industry. The opposite is true of Adobe, is it not?

Thank you so much Chris. I know I'm not the only person to run into this as both Nik/Google and Adobe acknowledged this problem. I did however try something else to try and isolate the issue further. I tried editing with Nik/Google Color Efex & Silver Efex, etc., in Aperture, and sure enough, the Nik/Google filters wouldn't open, or they would crash Aperture. So - it's looking like a Nik/Google problem. They used to be so good. The crazy thing is that I had been using Photoshop with the Nik filters just fine, even earlier that very day. What could have gone wrong? Was there some kind of automatic update Saturday 3/1/14? And it was especially weird that it happened immediately after I refused to allow Adobe to (anonymously) monitor my usage. I'll call Nik/Google back tomorrow and tell them what you've told me, as well as letting them know their filters crashed Aperture too. I'll report back as soon as I find a fix. I know I'm not the only one out there who's experienced this.
Thanks again!

I just purchased and installed PSE 8 as an upgrade to PSE 6. My catalog correctly shows all of my existing images. However, when I try to import photos into the Organizer, I get a message that nothing was imported. The reason given is that "The Organizer does not support the color space in the file." This happens with photos taken on my iPhone as well as those from my Canon PowerShot A1100 IS. Any suggestions?
