User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:74.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/74.0

Steps to reproduce:

A recent update of FF has restored numerous areas of white space bacgrounds on web pages. I must have a full black background with no white space while using high contrast mode. Please fix this!

You can enter about:config into the address bar and set browser.display.permit_backplate to false. Bug 1617681 aims to add the setting to about:preferences.

Firefox 75 will have some improvements, like bug 1614921 and bug 1617678. There's still bug 1616440 for other cases.

I think bug 1617678 should also be fixed on Nightly. Could you try to use Nightly and report if you still hit issues? Thanks a lot.

Clear a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user.

Inactive users most likely will not respond; if the missing information is essential and cannot be collected another way, the bug maybe should be closed as INCOMPLETE.
