Description

[u212676]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Firefox/3.5.1 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Firefox/3.5.1 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I can not view this page in Firefox 3.5.1 (and previous versions) as the background defaults to white. There are literals on the same page in white and consequently the page 'appears' blank.

Works fine in IE 7.0 / 8.0, background is green with white letters. 

However, this page generates 25 errors when run through the W3C validator.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Simply launch the URL referenced
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Page appears blank with few visible characters, but several 'hot spots' that can not be seen.

Expected Results:  
Should display a green background with white characters representing several hot links.

Duplicated the results received from IE 7.0 / 8.0

Works for me in 3.5.1. Try viewing the page in safe mode:

This issue was caused by a setting within the browser, that for some reason I no longer have documented, so can not explain how it was resolved. Sorry.
