For a long time more than 2 years , I see a "default black gray background" on websites that not define background color for example : http://www.caixaimobiliario.pt/comprar/imoveis-venda.jsp?op=comprar&pgnr=1&ofs=&rsnr=&pgsz=&listing=&ordby=&dc=0&tptpl=0&pcmax=0&pcmin=-1&f=0&armin=0

when with other chrome background is white and site is much more readable .

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for an add-on that can change the colors that websites can use.

For example; Please try NoSquint Plus Manage site-specific zoom levels and color settings

Did you check the default colors?

  • Options/Preferences -> Content : Fonts & Colors -> Colors

for my surprise after check with other user in firefox doesn't show same problem , so I just got this problem in my default user of firefox. I already check all in Options/Preferences -> Content : Fonts & Colors -> Colors, but I got it for some many time .

I see site of link above like this

Are you using a High Contrast theme in your operating system?

Make sure you allow pages to choose their own colors.

  • Options/Preferences -> Content : Fonts & Colors -> Colors : "Override the colors specified by the page with my selections above"

Try "Never" if the default "Only with High Contrast themes" isn't working. See also:

I already tried all of these options , none works . The colors of website aren't wrong only in my user profile
