How to allow internet pages to use their own background colors ?

On my old Win7Pro system (Firefox stepwise updated from early version 2 to version 18.0) this works perfectly: for example my own homepage http://www.du-ch.net/ shows its light blue background color. However, on my new Win8Pro laptop with Firefox 18.0 directly installed, the background is always white (system windows color). NOTE: There is of course a menu option (—settings—menu—color) where changes SHOULD be possible. However, crossing or uncrossing the checkboxes does not change anything in the system behaviour: the Win8 and the Win7 systems show different background colors independently on any checks in the 2 boxes (of course with the same settings, too). Obviously a bug [to be corrected by the developers], but meanwhile does anybody know what to change in the settings file (I will of course be careful !) ?

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

maybe this is just an issue of too low contrast or accuracy of colour reproduction of the new monitor?

Fortunately not: excellent screen and no problems at all with Opera 12.12 ! However, Internet Explorer also shows wrong background colors, even with the correct "barrier freedom" settings. Maybe the problem is deeply hidden into Windows 8.

Thanks, indeed returning to another predefined design resolved the problem. Note that before, I used a personal, modified design, but obviously there was still a "high-contrast" [disturbing] function active, which overread the "allow internet pages colours" setting in Firefox and IE [but not in Opera and Chrome]. The Win8 high contrast themes anyway lead to highly unsatisfactory results in many applications, such as black text on darl grey background, or light grey text on white background.
