Hello,
on this german homepage:
http://foto.beitinger.de/browser_farbmanagement/farb-testbilder.html
the photographer Andreas Beitinger collected several testimages and -patterns to check the colormanagement skills of your preferred browsers or in case of Firefox 3.0 or 3.6 the gfx-settings you've choosen.
If something is not to understand I can try to translate.
On OS X with more than one display, never forget to check in the ColorSync Utility, which display is selected to be the colorcorrect one, it's always just one, despite a program has his own implemnetation to map the colors over more than one display. (Is ist right, that in 10.6.4 the default button disappeared, and the main misplay is only selectable by switching the plugs on the graphic card?)
If something is not to understand I can try to translate.

PS: Another site worth a look, is his chart of colorlmanagement supporting applications:

>actual monitor calibration profile set by EyeOne software. Let's be clear,
>you are already viewing an image with your calibrated monitor profile when

>all. (or view the video link and follow those instructions)

>I created a simple photoshop action to accommodate for the shift in Flash
>and it works and matches the sRGB version (non Flash powered) on EVERY
>single monitor - both office grade PC monitors to expensive NEC color
>accurate monitors. Aside from that no color person would ever use sRGB as a
>calibrated and profiled monitor profile. That's why we have colorimeters to
>assess the specific conditions of each person's monitor. Color accurate
>monitors profiled with the same luminance and color temp. should match each
>other (in a similar viewing environment). I know this because I calibrated
>and profiled over 10 color accurate monitors to match each other. This is
>critical when working in a multiple monitor environment creating consistent
>digital color.

>More over, if I adjust an sRGB profiled image using the Monitor RGB to soft
>proof and place it next to the non-Flash Safari representation I can
>compensate and adjust to get the accurate version that I would see if Flash
>did recognize sRGB. The adjusted file (with the embedded sRGB profile) will
>look a bit off but once it lands in a Flash environment it will match your
>original sRGB file. Thus, the relationship between the two files - once
>consistent via adjustments employing soft proofing and one "as is" in Safari
>- stays the same from one monitor to the next. NO, each monitor across the
>globe will NOT see the exact color I see on my monitor BUT they will see the
>same results of comparison using the method I described above. The
>relationship between the two representations remains constant although the
>color of one image viewed on my monitor may be different from another's.
