I can't read PDF's in my Firefox browser anymore. It looks as if they are semi-transparent: The fonts are blurry, and they have the same color as my Aero theme frame. I can see my desktop photo through the fonts. When I save the PDF's and open them offline, they are displayed as they should. The prints also look normal. Btw, when I change to a classic theme, PDF's are displayed normal.
