I am surprised, as I have been using Firefox for the last so many years, and have never encountered such a problem. Any website that I access with Firefox has its colours missing. The background is just white. Colours of Header/Navigation tabs etc are also missing. There is no problem with Font sizes or colours.

I see that this problem is unique with Firefox only. I tried your troubleshooting tips including 'Tools - Options - Content - Colours - Allow pages to choose own colours..' and also reinstalling latest version of Firefox without any addons. Problem persists.

I tried the same websites using Chrome and Opera, both of which have returned original page colours.

Can anyone help me please?

absolutely spot on, cor-el.

as you suggested, I went to Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Personalization ->and then to 'Change the theme'. I chose a basic theme and lo.... the colours were back.

thanks a lot cor-el for your quick and dead-on tip.

Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings and that you allow pages to choose their own colors in Firefox.
