I just installed Firefox on my new Windows laptop, and when I open an image in a new tab the background around the image is a dark gray. On my old computer the background is white, which I much prefer. How do I change this setting?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

It is a new feature in Firefox 11+ versions to display a single image centered with an almost black background.

It is added by this stylesheet:

  • resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css

You can look at this extension to set your preferred background color and remove the centering.
