Some websites display a dark blue background with very faint and barely visible lettering. Can we set website displays to have simple, black on white backgrounds?

Some websites display a dark blue background with very faint and barely visible lettering. Can we set website displays to have simple, black on white backgrounds? Sometimes, you can highlight lettering, but only by hovering over it (if you can even find it) and sliding the cursor across the lettering.

I am unable to copy a Southwest Airlines website that shows a flight booking for BWI-VPS on April 7 at 6:25am-9:30AM with this dark blue background and very faint lettering to display the times of day of the flights. If you look carefully, you can these times faintly, then hover over and slide the cursor across the times, which will be revealed in white. This is very difficult viewing on such an important site.

Maybe this type of display is the way the website was designed, but if there is a FireFox setting to change the site to black lettering on white background, please tell me how to do this.

Thank you!

Robert
