Overprinted text in PDF when using built-in PDF viewer and using my own colors.

When I uncheck the option "allow pages to use their own colors..." in preferences, and view a PDF using the built-in viewer, all text in PDF documents appears to be printed twice with the default color (usually black) then printed again with my preferred color slightly shifted giving the appearance of all the text having shadows. I usually set my color preferences for pages to have a black background and a light gray text. This may be a bug.

Hi seablue, In order to further investigate, please update to Firefox 36. If this continues please provide a test link to a pdf for further investigation.

Firefox updated to version 36.0, problem persists. Example: http://productinstructions.zippo.com/Documents/English_USA/01_Windproof_Lighters/02_Windproof_Care_Instructions_English_en.pdf

I see the same thing when I uncheck that option and view the PDF using the built-in viewer. However, I always let websites pick their colors so I've never noticed it.

Personally, I don't think those options should affect PDFs at all.
