Every time i import, open, cut and paste, or drag and drop, a raster image from
photoshop or from it's original file into Fireworks it is lighter when it gets
to fireworks? optimizing does nothing. i have to adjust the levels on any
raster image once it is in fireworks and this is costing me a lot of time since
i have already perfected the images in photoshop.
Anyone have this problem?

Because Photoshop embeds a color profile, typically tuned for offset
printing, that FW ignores. Turn off the profile in PS before working on
a photo.

Hmm.

I wonder.... Are the color profiles the same in both programs? I have a number
of different programs and the same image will look different in all of them.

Maybe this is silly, but try importing one of your Photoshop images into
Fireworks, exporting it from Fireworks as a new image (export, not save), then
opening that file in Photoshop along with the original. Are the colors still
shifted?

the colors shifted in fireworks and then shifted back when i exported them into
photoshop. How do make the profiles match in both programs? In photoshop i used
working RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1. I can't even find a color proflie option in
fireworks.

Fireworks does not understand color profiles.
