Firefox and Apple 11.5.1

Ever since I downloaded the new IOS update, when I open Firefox there are no color backgrounds to web pages. All back grounds area very very light dark gray For example my banking web site has letters in white on a blue background. The blue isn't blue but a very very light gray where you can barely read the functions on top.

Another example is the NHHC wbesite which a US Navy historical web page. It orginally had colored backgorunds for various topis. No more. Just a very very light gray that is hard to read the titles of each section.

I have re-downloaded Firefox with the same result in no color

If I use Safari - there is no problem. But I have been a long time user of Firefox and simply like the way it remembers web sites.

Anytone know of any fixes or having same problem.

I have a new Mac Book Pro using system 11.5.1

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.5

When you initially install Firefox 91, it should prompt you whether you want it to track the macOS appearance setting or not. This is also in the Firefox settings. This may have some bearing on how Firefox presents your website content background.

Thanks for your response. Both my Firefox and Mac IOS are the latest versions. I did not get a prompt asking to track the macOS appearance when I downloaded the Firefox update. I was unable to find it in the settings. Can you tell me where in the settings it is? Never had this issue before and both Safari and Google Chrome do not have this issue. But I have been using Firefox now for a long time and really want to stay with it if I can fix the color background to various site pages.

My guess is VikingOSX is referring to the "Colors…" setting under Firefox > Preferences > General > Language and Appearance.

There is an 11.5.2 update to Big Sur and a 91.0.1 update to Firefox. You can update both and see if they help.
