Making an html site linked to a .js file containing the following js code does not apply user input color to page in Firefox but does in Edge: 

  var useColor = prompt("What is your favorite color?");
  document.bgColor = useColor;

note: the prompt appears and accepts input. After input the document.bgColor DOM function does not work in colorizing the background

That property is non-standard. See: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Document/bgColor

Tried this? 

  var useColor = prompt("What is your favorite color?");
  document.body.style.backgroundColor = useColor;
