The computer in question is running Vista. With Firefox 8, some websites, e.g. Whitepages.com, livefreept.com, behave badly. Spedifically, they require the user to click on tabs. But the tabs don't appear at all. I upgraded to Firefox 10, to no effect. The sites work fine on this same computer with Internet Explorer, and on both our XP and Windows 7 computers using older older versions of Firefox. All three are using the same Norton Internet Security program, with the same settings. Starting in safe mode, with no add-ons has no effect. Help!

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

Hi, cor-el - I really appreciate your suggestion. IT WORKED! I'd allowed the site to set the fonts - but not the colors. All now seems fine. Thanks again. steamer102
