Innacurate Wind in Firefox

Nrbelex

Hello - I'm seeing inaccurate wind speeds and animation in one particular profile in Firefox for Windows (66.0b4). When I load a clean Firefox profile, everything works properly, but I can't stop using the profile where I'm experiencing the bug. I've tried disabling all add-ons, toggling all relevant settings, clearing cookies and the cache, and using a Private Window but the problem persists. No errors in the console. Happy to provide more information if useful.

Edit: I'm also experiencing this issue on https://www.windfinder.com, so it must be something common to both.

Steps to reproduce:

Open Firefox
Open Windy
Select wind layer

Ok, having spent more time troubleshooting, I believe the steps to reproduce are as follows:

Have a wide-gamut monitor
Create a custom color profile for the monitor and have Windows use that profile
Set gfx.color_management.mode in Firefox to option 1. (The default is 2.)
Continue with steps in previous post

That's a pretty narrow set of circumstances, but maybe someone else can reproduce.

Anyway, by making some tweaks, I think I have it working now.

Thanks!

I've been experiencing this issue too in Firefox with all of your steps above, but with a typical sRGB monitor (Dell U2415). This seems like quite a messy issue; I'm filing a bug report with Mozilla.

Does this then mean that the problem is with Firefox, not with Windy? Or?

Did you wind up filing this bug report?

Thanks
