Okay since Firefox 3 was released today, it is a color managed browser. But it is not on by default. Here is a add-on which enables it so you do not have to goto about:config and enable the color managed feature

If you do not want to login then just go to the developer's website

Here is a website to test and see if your browser is color managed.

Difference between a unmanaged and managed browser

And here is some info if you want to do it manually.
--To enable it you must set gfx.color_management.enabled to true (via about:config) and restart Firefox
 
To be clear, you'll need a display profile (at least) in order to take advantage of this. I've calibrated all my monitors, and definitely notice the difference on wide-gamut displays.
