Hello, As shown in the attached file, the website I am consulting should display the box to enter a code as per attachment 1 (like a virtual keyboard), but since the last update of firefox, the box now appears empty as per attchment 2, preventing any selection of the right numbers.

What should I change for it to appears normally?

Thank you,

Christophe Ps: I also see now that when I tick the box below "email me when someone answers the thread", the box still appears empty (hope it is not as I would like ot receive the emails) and had that for another website since the last update.

This could be a problem with High Contrast Mode on Mac. See "New" in the release notes. Firefox now automatically enables High Contrast Mode when "Increase Contrast" is checked on MacOS in the Accessibility settings.

Make sure you allow pages to choose their own colors.

  • Settings -> General: Fonts & Colors -> Colors: "Override the colors specified by the page with my selections above"

Try "Never" if the default "Only with High Contrast themes" isn't working.
