I am not quite sure why this is happening but I notice that sometime when I
download images and open them in the gimp the color that I may have seen in
the web browser is definitely not the same color that I see in the gimp.
For example this image

show such a discrepency in which the red in the browser is brighter than the
red in the Gimp.
How do I correct this
You use a browser that has proper color management.
Or you can disable color management in GIMP; or assign 'standard srgb'
color profile to the image. To be correct, however, you probably
should convert the image to 'standard srgb' color profile.
(the Image->Mode menu allows you to assign and convert to profiles)
To be completely clear: GIMP is probably showing the image correctly,
while your browser is wrongly assuming that the image is stored with
standard srgb color profile.
