Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 363861

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Joystiq, and all its fellow blog sites, all share the same commenting system for its community.  Majority of comments are a shade of green.  Some are lighter shades than others.  And the text is blurry.  The link shows an example.  This happens for all comment pages and all their sites.

This happens even with no addon's running.  I've tried Safe Mode.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to Joystiq.com
2.  Click to view comments on any posting.
Actual Results:  
Green comments appear.

Expected Results:  
All the text should have just been black and easily legible.

This does not happen in IE7.  I'm on Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 with a 8800GTX with latest drivers.

WFM on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008051506 Minefield/3.0pre ID:2008051506

could you try with a more recent trunk build?

Tried it again with "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008051506 Minefield/3.0pre" and it still happens.

WFM, Firefox 2008051504 on Linux.  I don't see any green text, the comments
are different shades of grey for me.

Nelson, do you reproduce either in safe-mode? (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode) could be an extension..

Comment 6

[Nelson]

It is still green in Safe Mode on the newer trunk.

Comment 7

[Régis Caspar]

Hum, pretty strange because I see only grey and black comments as Mats.. 

Comment 8

[Nelson]

I completely uninstalled any version of FF3 on my computer and installed the latest trunk build.  I still see green. :(  Screenshot attached.

I get this, have done for a while with betas and now with the release candidate. Just wondering has anyone got this on XP? All those who've got the bug seem to be on Vista.

I also get this at www.nintendo.co.uk (click on login at the top)

I still cannot reproduce even under Vista (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051206 Firefox/3.0 ID:2008051206) but font aliasing looks odd on the nintendo page ("Forgot your password?" and "Remember me.")

Looks like a dupe of bug 363861: there are color alterations in screenshots attached to this bug and there is an opacity: 0.8 in the joystiq gray comments
