Every background on every webpage is white. I have tried: - Safe Mode - Refreshing Firefox - Restarting my Macbook - Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox

None of these work and the issue isn't on any other app Even webpages which are set on dark background by default (say, Netflix, I'll add an example) are ovverriden with white. Several UI elements look broken now.

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Follow this click sequence: Firefox\Preferences\General\Language and Appearance\Colours

  • Now look for Override the colours specified by the page with your selections above
  • From the drop-down menu, select Never.
  • Click OK

As a precaution, I then exited Firefox and reopened the program. Webpage backgrounds now appear to be normal.

I hope that this works for you.

Same here. The last few days every website when viewed in Firefox shows what looks to be a stripped down version of the site - all colours around navigational elements are gone. See screenshot. Not happening in any other browser.

Interestingly, I completely uninstalled Firefox. Emptied trash. Reinstalled and, even before I signed in to my Firefox account (so, it was a completely vanilla install of Firefox), the same problem was there. (had previously tried safe mode and the helps on this page here: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1078342 all without any effect).

On Mac, big sur latest version and latest version of Firefox.

Thank you! That was exactly what I needed to do

See also "New" in the release notes.

Firefox now automatically enables High Contrast Mode when "Increase Contrast" is checked on MacOS in the Accessibility settings.
