Black Box around Google Search Results
I think this might be more of a Google issue, but it happens when using Firefox so I'll post it here. As of Jun 25, 2025, I have noticed dark black boxes appearing around my Google search results. I normally use a dark theme in Google, but the color is a muted grey/black. Today, however, dark black boxes have begun appearing around my search result. I really dislike the appearance as it is quite jarring. Interestingly enough, this issue only happens when signed into a Google account. Some Reddit users have reported having the same issue even in other browsers when using Google search. It seems to be something that Google has done on thier end but I was wondering if there was a potential workaround in the meantime.

Google likes to experiment on users. Sometimes if you search signed out in a private window you get the more standard experience, other times, it's if you sign on.
There are add-ons you can use to modify page styles, but since I don't use a dark theme, I probably won't be developing one myself. Maybe someone else has shared one on Reddit (either r/Firefox or r/FirefoxCSS)?

Thanks for your reply. Oddly enough, the issue seems to have disappeared, at least for now. I appreciate the suggestion.
