Tabs suddenly appeared colored yellow, white or green with unreadable blurry yellow text. Only way to read tab text is to change each individual tab to darkest grey but text still blurry. I want to get back to tabs the way they were with black text.

That problem is most likely due to your "ColorfulTabs" extension. There is a newer version (version 18.1) on the author's home page, but no guarantee that it will correct your problem (I do not use ColorfulTabs). I found the link following on the Mozilla add-ons page for ColorfulTabs ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/colorfultabs/ ).

There is also a link on the Mozilla add-ons page for that extension (in the right margin) for "Support site" where there are numerous recent posts about tabs being hard to read or unreadable. I suggest that you add your complaint/problem to their forum.
