Photoshop colors don't match other apps

Hi all. First post. Using CS3/Windows, noticing a strange problem.

Anything edited in photoshop appears different when viewed in another application. For example, I edit a photo in CS3, and then view it in Firefox - it is muted, the colors are drab examples of the bright hues displayed in Photoshop. If I bring anything done in photoshop into The Gimp, Polyview, or anything else I can think of, they all look identical in those other apps, they only appear different when compared against what an image looks like in Photoshop. I first noticed when uploading an image to Flickr, it looked great in Photoshop, and dramatically drab when uploaded. I then started doing some investigative work and discovered the system wide behavior. I'm a little stumped. Similarly, anything created in Gimp brought into CS3 looks different, it appears darker in CS3.

I don't know where to look, I've even made sure the same colorspaces are being used. This won't do!

Help greatly appreciated. Yes, I finally made the jump from the Gimp.

i'm assuming your PShop is using a way different gamma set-up etc from the other apps. i used to have that going from my desktop etc into PShop, and it's noticeable when i look at my pics at work, where the monitors presumably just have the standard windows setup. try using the adobe gamma etc to create a profile.
