I was in "about:config" and may have accidentially changed the layout -- all my web pages do not have separating lines and some have no background. How do I undo this?
All the web pages have lost their separating lines and some background -- I've unistalled FireFox and reinstalled it, but the problem continues.
I may have changed something in "about:config" and don't know how to change it back.

Hi,
Please try starting Firefox in Safe Mode and in the first window choose Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults and continue. This would reset all the preferences to their defaults.
or
If you remember at least part of the name of the preference, you can filter for that in about:config by starting to type the pref name in the Filter box. All modified (both manually and by add-ons) preferences appear in bold. To reset a single pref, right-click and Reset.
You may also want to try Disable all add-ons in the Safe Mode opening window and browse some sites after clearing the cache.
