Page formatting strange. I get underlines where there are none, boxes around choices, and complete wash out of color. Tried changing theme, fonts,fonts, page style and colors and didn't help.

Hi,

Please check if this happens in a new profile. If the new profile is okay, you can later copy the needed personal data from the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in another location (profile folder) separate from its files/folder. A new profile would have the default Firefox settings in (Tools (Alt + T) > Options and about:config ), and usually would also be empty of any Extensions and themes (Appearance) in Tools > Add-ons, and their settings. Also, a new profile would have no previous stored website cache/cookies/data/preferences etc., (Tools > Clear Recent History).

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
