No matter what choice I make for "When a web page provides its own colors and
background" in the "Preferences - Appearance - Colors" dialog box the browser
uses   my color choices.  All the sites I visit do not render background colors
at all.  This occurs on both my WinME and Win98 machines.  This problem started
with the latest nightly build on 6/15/2004.  Not fixed with the 6/19/2004 build.

This bug (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247743) has been marked as
resolved but it has not been resolved.  This has been an issue for me since the
6-15-2004 build.  The 6-20-2004 has not fixed it.  This is a very serious
problem, a very big step backward in the quality of the mozilla product.  Fix
this or ban me.

Read comment 1 and the resolution carefully. It was resolved as DUPLICATE, not
fixed! See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/bug_status.html for details.
Bug 246213 is about a regression in nightly builds on WinNT4/Win9x since 20040609.

No-one said this. Bug 246213 isn't fixed yet, only a workaround exists. See Bug
246213 comment 54 (new integer pref). If this helps, you will see your bug is a
dupe.

Please resolve it again as dupe if the workaround works for you. Thanks.

My apologies for my misunderstanding marking a bug as duplicate.  My stupidity.
Thanks for the workaround.
