Light PNG's FireFox 3.5-3.6

Within the past day a bug has seemed to have to have knocked on my door and slapped me in the face.
If your having lighter PNG’s showing up in FF 3.5-3.6 im going to show you how to fix it.

This bug seems to show up in FF 3.5-3.6 on Windows 7 (64Bit).
This bug may not show up for everyone as it seems the bug shows up for some and not others, The only connection we have found so far is FF, Win7 (64bit) and images created in photoshop with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile enabled.

Example:

As you can see in the picture above the PNG on the bottom with the “sRGB IEC61966-2.1″ profile enabled is lighter than the one without and should blend in with the background color but does not.

Ok time for a FIX.

Solution 1 [RECOMMENDED]:
You can simply disable the profile in photoshop Edit>Assign Profile>”Don’t Color Mange This Document”>Ok

Solution 2:
You can download TweakPNG at http://entropymine.com/jason/tweakpng/ then open the image

RightClick on iCCP and delete, then save the image.

How this fixes your problem as it did mine.
