I just tried this on Windows - Firefox and Safari displaying the same
photo side-by-side. I was expecting to see no difference. But b*gger me
they did look different - the Safari rendition seemed to be slightly
darker. I was so surprised by this that I then tried with Firefox and
IE, and found that again the IE rendition looked darker than Firefox.
Then I compared IE and Safari and discovered that this time the IE one
was lighter - seemingly the same as I recalled Firefox.

Then the penny dropped. Whichever browser was on the right hand side of
the screen gave a seemingly darker rendition. Swapping the positions of
Firefox and Safari reversed the difference - Firefox now looking
darker. I believe it might be down to the direction from which the
ambient lighting comes (but that's just my layman's guess).
