Many websites have pull-down menus that open automatically when mousing over
them, see example below. The resulting window has a transparent background which
does not "paint over" the underlying text. The result is a mess.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit united.com
2.Mouse over any of the three: "Planning travel" "Travel support" "Mileage Plus"
3.Notice the resulting text on top of text

Actual Results:  
See above

Expected Results:  
pull-down window should have non-transparent background

Do you have font colors set to "always use my colors" in preferences?  See bug
247805 and bug 255411.

Ole, can you please test with a latest nightly? I don't see this on united.com.
This issue may have been related to another bug that was fixed.
