At the end of 2017 there were reports on here of pictures appearing black on Facebook when viewed in Safari on High Sierra. I have belatedly updated to 10.13.6, with Safari 12.1.1, and have run into the same problem. Normal viewing of Facebook pages is OK. The problem occurs when I click on an image to enlarge it. And not all pictures -- just some.
Did anyone ever find a fix for this strange behaviour? I have tried the usual ideas of clearing caches.
Did you ever try the Safe Mode?
Safe Mode - About
If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read. Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” and then paste into a reply. This will show what is running on your computer. No personal information is shown. If the log won’t post, try posting it in Pastebin and provide a link in a reply Pastebin

Then try the Safe Mode and you can also run Etrecheck. If the log won’t post, try posting it in Pastebin and provide a link in a reply Pastebin
Follow up to my original above: this was the original posting that raised the issue

I found the answer in another thread on this Forum. It's because I was using a customized colour profile for my monitor. Changed it to the default iMac setting and all is well again. Odd bug, though.
Thank you for the feedback.
Haven't tried Safe mode but the problem does not occur in Firefox or Chromium.
