the blank white page is killer. inbetween page loads a bright flash of white.



This can be fixed with some user css.

/* Put the content below into your <firefox profile>/chrome/userChrome.css */ .browserContainer { background-color: #000000 !important; }


Nice one! I had to create the folder "chrome" and the file userChrome.css and restart firefox. How to find the profile-folder: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-...


We should go back to system color (usually medium grey) as the default background for webpages. Not sure why more recent browsers have replaced it w/ white, this makes for pretty poor usability/accessibility.


I use Shadowfox [1] and it corrects this issue. Adds a dark theme to many other components on Firefox too.
