Can I set the background colour for websites to my preference like I can on mozilla firefoz desktop (via tools-options-content-colours-) .
I would like to buy a new Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 , can I download mozilla firefox onto this and make as my default, and then set the background colours as explained above in my question. This is important to me because I have hypersensitivity to bright light and therefore white type backgrounds even if the brighteness level on the device is turned right down make it too bright for my eyes. I use mozilla firefox on my desktop because of this and have all my webpages set automatically to grey which works great.
And lastly can I then sync my mozilla firefox on my tablet with the mozilla firefox on my laptop, ie can I transfer my bookmarks over?
Thanks ever so much.

Hi Tim,
Yes, of course you can!
The options screens in FIrefox for Android are a little pared down compared to desktop Firefox. But all the options you need are still there - just a bit hidden. :)
To change the text size to grey and make sure web pages can't override your choice, you'd need to:
- Open Firefox on your tablet and go to about:config
- Use the search box at the top right to find browser.display.background_color and change it to your preferred shade of grey
- You can use a hex code to specify your colour, or add it by name. A good hex code for grey would be '#cccccc'. Or try something darker, like the word 'grey'.
- You also need to find browser.display.use_document_colors and change it to 'false'.
For an easier approach, there are some addons which can control background colours for you, although I think they might be limited to changing it to black (not grey): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/search/?q=background&appver=&platform=
Hope this helps,
Jayelbe

Hi jayelbe,
in following the instructions given to set the background colours. when I follow the steps given I end up on this page which seems to just be telling me how to do this on desktop firefox which I already know how to do.I am needing to do this on my tablet with firefox for android and on mine when you click on tools there is no optons then content tab like on my firefox desktop browser/
Here is the page where I am at and currently stuck:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.display.background_color
The other add on link gives me the hex colour codes which is very useful, but not sure what or how I use them yet. Why can't the android version just have tools options conternt colors link, that would save me alot of energy and stress, because I can't use the talbet until I have sorted this somehowm
Hope you can help.
Many thanks, Tim
