[Bug 1064858] New: Gray Default Window Background in Firefox
http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1064858 Bug ID: 1064858 Summary: Gray Default Window Background in Firefox Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox Assignee: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: sknorr@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- I am using Firefox 56 from the Mozilla OBS repo in GNOME on Leap 42.3. I have also tried this in the version of Firefox 56 that is currently shipped with Tumbleweed (on KDE) and the issue is the same. I noticed that the new Firefox now uses a gray window background by default. This interestingly breaks quite a few websites, because at some point (around 2000), all relevant browsers switched from default of gray to a default of white for their window background. And then web authors became lazy and stopped providing a background color when all they wanted was white... For a website that looks off because of this, try e.g. the login screen on https://login.microfocus.com (obviously not ideal if you're already logged in to Bugzilla.) (But there is a myriad of other random sites that suddenly look wrong, say https://emojipedia.org/ .) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

What is the value of browser.display.background_color and is it bold or normal text? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's the default value, i.e. not bold. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

At least I see a difference between Firefox and Chrome. Since in the package we are not fiddling with that (AFAICT) have you also tried an upstream Firefox tarball probably? In case it's the same there do you prefer to open a bugreport upstream or do you expect me to do that? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, the about:config value looks the same. about:buildconfig looks pretty different in general, but both builds use --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk3. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
