Yup - definitely sRGB. But shouldn't matter as FF and IE are not 'profile
aware'
I think these programs assume all images to be in sRGB space.

The consistent shift I see is red skin tones.

On my systemL
ACDsee (pro profile aware version) shows the jpegs exactly as LR.
IE shows icky red skin tone.

I have seen this before and seems to be a common problem in programs that
are not 'profile aware'.
Mac users get the upper hand here as I gather everything is profile aware
for them.

LR IS sliced bread! Love it too.
