User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721

I'd like to have another option in the Preferences>Appearence>Colors dialog. The
option is that the user will have two color schemes. The options on the "when a
web page provides..." frame would be these:
- Use color scheme 1 always
- Use color scheme 2 always
- Use color scheme 1 when the page doesn't specify colors, or scheme 2 when it does.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
None, due to the nature of the bug


Expected Results:  
Rationale:
Many pages assume that the background color on the browser is white, and set the
text color to a dark color. That is bad when you have a "white on black" color
scheme, because there will be dark text on black background. This is caused
because Mozilla "mixes" the color scheme and the colors specified on the page.
This is not the best result, so I request that there will be an option that when
a page specifies some colors, the scheme would be "black on white", and when it
doesn't, the scheme would be "white on black"

confirming as an RFE to prompt a decision about making the color prefs dialog
more sophisticated, and reassigning from deprecated UI design component.
