High-contrast theme doesn't display google search images

The usual advice is "make sure you haven't enabled a high-contrast theme." ***High-contrast themes are essential for people with vision problems because the standard Windows 10 interface is intolerable or unusable for them.

QUESTION: Is there a way to display google search images with a high-contrast theme?

I notice that this problem is intermittent, possible occurring with a Firefox update or Windows update, I'm not sure. My Firefox version is 81.0.1 and my Windows 10 is up to date.

Thanks very much for your help!

This is likely because if you disable website colors like happens with an High Contrast theme selected that you do not get background images.

You can possibly disable using the High Contrast theme in Firefox and if necessary use an extension for text and background color that doesn't affect images.

Make sure you allow pages to choose their own colors.

  • Options/Preferences -> General: Fonts & Colors -> Colors: "Override the colors specified by the page with my selections above"

Try "Never" if the default "Only with High Contrast themes" isn't working.

"Override the colors specified by the page with my selections above" is set to ALWAYS because I want to always override the bright white background of many websites, including google. I have the background set to gray.

Is there something like a registry change that can restore the images?
