After upgrade to FF 91.0 (and install of Pocket), ALL my views have changed! Loads of white space. NYT and other websites now have BLUE text instead of black. What did I do wrong? I have not changed any settings. THANK YOU! Don

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.

Finding and unchecking "Increase contrast" fixed my problem. (Who knew it was checked?). I also changed: Settings -> General: Fonts & Colors -> Colors: "Override the colors specified by the page with my selections above" to "Never." THANK YOU! Don (Running macOS Catalina v 10.15.7)
