Liam, thanks for your search results. Appreciate the reply.

I read through them and even though they referenced really old versions
of Firefox I tried (in about:config) changing these color correction
settings per the second URL you referenced:

I could not see differences using any of the 3 settings. Did I
misunderstand something when I tried applying these 3 settings?

Thanks.
