A little help with color profiles/png/web?

I'm struggling to get this right. I have a logo in png format, and the color looks fine in Safari, but all washed out in Firefox. I had a look here: http://creativebits.org/color_loss_exporting_from_photoshop, but it didn't really make me any wiser. I tried a few of the tips with no success.

Logo: http://xgrape.net/titlenew.png
PSD-file: http://xgrape.net/header.psd.zip

Would anyone be so kind to fix it for me? I want it to look the way it does in Safari, in Firefox. From what I understand, there is somehow a color profile attached to the png. I guess the best solution would be to not use a color profile, and so it would look the same on all platforms/browsers? But just removing the profile will make it pale in every browser. I want it to look the way it does WITH the profile.

Any good tips on how to fix it myself are also greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

The obvious answer is to use the "Save for Web" option in PS which should correct any issues and also give you a better file size.

Save for web doesn't embed a colour profile for the simple reason that most browsers don't use them, if you use that then it should display correctly across all browsers.

Save for web is exactly what I am already using...
