[Bug 1653940] [NEW] Firefox running under xfce has blue tinge on everything

[Severin Kempf]

Public bug reported:

While running Ubuntu through xfce and windows remote desktop, all
graphics in Firefox appear with a blue tinge. This includes image files,
interactive graphics such as google maps, and the Google logo on the
firefox start page.

I've attached a photo comparing image results for the phrase "photo" on
Chrome in Windows and Firefox in xfce Ubuntu.
