User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:8.0a1) Gecko/20110806 Firefox/8.0a1
Build ID: 20110806030740

Steps to reproduce:

I am using two monitors with different assigned ICC profiles, one has 110% NTSC gamut and the other is closer to 72%.


Actual results:

When moving Firefox between monitors, it kept on using the ICC profile of the primary monitor (with 110% NTSC), so the result was that all colors appeared washed out on the secondary monitor.


Expected results:

Firefox should automatically use the ICC profile of the monitor it's currently displayed on when rendering. Adobe Photoshop, for example, switches to the correct ICC profile when you stop dragging the window.

Ever confirmed: true
I get the same results (Firefox 9.0.1).  The primary monitor is wide-gamut, and FF uses the profile for this even when displaying on the secondary (normal gamut) monitor.  

This is strange - I'm sure I tested this back with FF4 or there abouts, and it did use the right profile for the monitor, but it certainly doesn't now.  

Even Windows Photo Viewer now manages to find the right profile for the monitor being used.
This isn't expected to work until bug 700927 is solved, which currently no one is working on.
