YouTube tint all of a sudden

Sorry, this is not Windows per se.

Today, at some point, YouTube videos suddenly started appearing with a cream-colored tint instead of white. It’s not my nighttime Windows nightlight; I checked. My Dell 8920 XPS, according to Support Assist, needs no driver updates. In searching for an answer, I saw one mention saying that all HDR videos require this and to disable or enable hardware acceleration in Windows settings, but I’m leery of this. Eeeryhing else looks fine on my monitor; in fact, in B&W videos, even the thumbnails that pop up when hovering over the video time line are untinted B&W, even though the full image is tinted (see attachment).

Any idea what going on?

Solved with the help of someone at the FF forums:

Try to set gfx.color_management.native_srgb = true on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. On the warning page, you can click “Accept the Risk and Continue” to open about:config.
