Why is firefox purplously making their browser worse?

You used to be able to set Contrast Control to not override other websites now you can't. What moron made this stupid ass decision that just degrades the quality of a once good browser?

This seems to be a regression of some sort, I found a couple of relevant Bugzilla tickets: #1971045, #1971047, #1972732, #1973304.

Hi, could you explain what is missing now?

In the old Colors dialog, you could choose to override page colors with your own colors using a three-position selector, and these three options are now available under Contrast Control:

  • Only with High Contrast themes => This is now called Automatic
  • Never => This is now called Off
  • Always => This is now called Custom

Does Never/Off work for you?

"Always is now custom" and that is the problem I want to be able to customize the contrast without it being on always

What do you want to customize, exactly? What settings were you using before?
