There are supposed to be "boxes" on many websites where you click to select a action. Those "boxes" or text do not show on the screen. When I know where these should be, I can move the pointer there and click to make the action occur, but I surely wish I could see them rather than having to move the mouse until it finds the place to click.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
