User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0 Build ID: 20150918100310 Steps to reproduce: Since Firefox 41 (as distributed by Ubuntu for the Trusty release): Edit -> Preferences -> Content -> Colors Text and Background: Invert the color for "Text" and "Background" (black to white and vice versa) Override the colors...: choose "Always" I believe his should be equivalent to setting the following preferences: browser.display.background_color = #000000 browser.display.foreground_color = #FFFFFF browser.display.use_document_colors = false Actual results: Web pages actually abide by these settings and are always rendered with *black* background and *white* foreground (text, and other elements such as borders). However, internal pages used by firefox [1] do not "completely" respect them: Text shows white, yet background is also white! This makes the page unusable, of course. [1] Such as about:{preferences,addons,config,privatebrowsing,support}, likely many others. Some pages that "apparently" work OK are: about:{blank,newtab}. But note that these pages do not contain text (I disabled the tiles in new tabs), so I'm not sure. Expected results: As in Firefox 40, both external and internal ("about" or "chrome") pages should respect all the color override preferences set by the user.
