The expected behavior is that as soon as the tab opens, it should have the correct background color. I use Firefox's accessibility features to force it to adopt this theme, by going to Options / Content / Colors, checking "Use system colors," and unchecking "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above."Įvery time a new tab opens, I am momentarily blinded by a bright white background in the tab. Therefore, in the evening I turn off the lights in my room and I enable a Windows theme in which all backgrounds are black, and the text is dark green. I have a circadian rhythm disorder, and I must not expose myself to bright lights in the evening, or I will have trouble falling asleep. With previous versions of Firefox which did not flash white when making a new tab this was not the case. The sudden bright flashes in an otherwise dark environment are unpleasant and hurt my eyes after a while. I use this black-background setup along with a dark GTK theme and 'use system colors' when in a low-light environment. The window should have remained the set background color The main window flashed white for a short period of time Set _background_color and _color to something dark (such as #000000) It should never flash white with these settings.ġ. Additionally, I have 'When Minefield starts' set to 'Show a blank page'.ĭespite all this, when a new tab is made the window flashes white then turns black.


I have both _color and _background_color set to '#000000'.
