Firefox makes this color ugly

The color #fcfc04 looks completely different (uglier imo) on Firefox while Chrome and Safari display it the same.

I was visiting this website when I noticed

Why does this happen?

    On my computer, Safari and Chrome both display in sRGB while Firefox displays in the "native" (aka wild west) RGB. You can verify this by opening up the "Digital Color Meter" app.

    No, the color itself is ugly, Firefox will just show you the truth

    It looks the same on my TN-panel monitor with Firefox 80 and Chrome 84 on Windows 10 and Linux. Could you post a screenshot?
