I profile both my desktop Samsung and the screen of my Sony VAIO laptop
in the same way using the Monaco Optix colorimeter and their software.
but they are still not the same. Even through the Sony was one of the
best looking laptop displays when I was shopping, it has a narrower
prime viewing angle and, I suspect, a narrower colour gamut. The Monaco
software provides a way to match monitors, but I assume that would
involve limiting the better one, which I don't want to do.
I've tried processing images in the field on the laptop and found it
frustrating compared to working at home.

Both images have a profile tag of sRGB. That means they 'should' look
the same on any browser, colour aware or not. Firefox doesn't adjust for
tags, but assumes sRGB, which they are. Safari reads the colour tags and
renders them as sRGB.
So actually seeing a difference in one and no difference in the other
seems at least logically unlikely/impossible. I personally find it quite
difficult to judge small colour differences between applications.
