[Solved] Firefox Quantum 57.0 open new page in tabs white flash background color

Firefox Tab basics

Firefox Quantum 57.0 new tabs still show default background color for a split second before changing to the preferred color.

This causes a flash like effect, which is bad for eyes and the monitors... The previous versions are working fine, so there is something in this version that causes this. Please advise. Thanks

Chosen Solution

Solved! See references: http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserChrome.css&printable=yes http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2138435

make the folder called "chrome" under your firefox profile then make the text file called userChrome.css type the following into it

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /*Prevents White pre-load flash*/ tabbrowser tabpanels { background-color: black !important; }

then restart Firefox!

Pkshadow. I don't know how to do that as I don't see a button saying "Click here to mark this solution as the solution...", although I have chosen that solution as the solution. Is that it?
