re :Parameter: browser.display.document_color_use

This setting may be overriding what you want to use.

Please do the following. Close any 'Write' windows.

  • 'Menu icon' > 'Options' > 'Options' > 'Display' > 'Formatting' tab
  • click on 'Colours' button

Uncheck 'Use System colours' Section: Override the colours specified by the content with my selections above: Select the following from the drop down selection:

  • 'Only with High Contrast themes'
  • click on OK
  • Click on OK

see image below as guide.

Click on 'Write' retry the text using the font colours etc. Report back on results.
