Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

I'm not using the about:home page, but I see this yellow color as well when inspecting the page. It is caused by this CSS rule:

body.background-4871 {
    background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #FEE885, #FCDE3F) repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;
}

You can see that if you right-click on the page and open the Inspector.

Add code to the userContent.css file.


@-moz-document url(about:home){ body.background-4871 { background:none !important; }}


The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
