I tried to upgrade Fire fox Mozilla as requested from the home page.. but it did not complete. When I went to surf the net the background screen colour was Black and now I could not see the web pages clearly, as some writing is in colour and does not stand out against the black background. It used to be a dark pink which was horrible when I used to view some web pages such as Ebay.. can anyone help change the back ground colour on the home page of Firefox. Regards Simon

Hi,

Please try enabling Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above in Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Content > Colors. Options > Content If the problem persists please also check in Safe Mode
