Chosen solution

Are you possibly using a High Contrast theme in your Windows OS?

Make sure you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.

Make sure you allow pages to choose their own colors.

  • Options/Preferences -> Content : Fonts & Colors -> Colors : "Override the colors specified by the page with my selections above"

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

This setting affects background images.

You can look at the NoSquint Plus extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.

Not a techie so I just try solutions that might work. High contrast not the issue. I had accidentally made both my background color and text color white which I couldn't change as that made content color panel invisible. The solution came after the 5th uninstall / reinstall and then clicking Refresh Firefox button and restoring original defaults. Back to normal. Hope this helps others.
