On many websites Firefox does not display checkmarks in boxes, won't show color options when ordering items that have different available colors, just shows white, also for cars when looking at options won't display the color options just the boxes (or circles) to check. Other issues also on many sites does not always work have to switch to Safari. I have a Mac mini Big Sur 11.6.6. As a matter of fact just below on this very page trying to check box that says e-mail me when somewone responds and nothing shows when I click on it.

Chosen solution

Make sure you haven't enabled High Contrast mode in the OS settings.

Make sure you allow pages to choose their own colors.

  • Settings -> General -> Language and Appearance -> Colors -> Manage Colors
    "Override the colors specified by the page with your selections above"

Try "Never" if the default "Only with High Contrast themes" isn't working.

cor-el OK. I followed your link and changed to the never for overriding colors specified by web page. Seems to have solved the problem. Thanks for your help!!
