For some reason Firefox displays the <body> element of many websites in a wrong color.

Take a look on this website: http://xcmag.com/magazine-articles/mastering-paragliding-the-45-degree-rule/

I have attached a screenshot of Firefox and Chrome side-by-side showing the same page. Note that the problem persists in most other websites (it is not the specific to have problem).

I tried to start Firefox in safe mode, but the problem persists. i tried to disable any themes, but still the same. I also made sure that the default theme is selected. On other machines with Firefox the problem does not happen.

I tried to move my profile folder to another machine and the problem was also moved! So something I guess is wrong with my profile?

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I opened the webpage using Firefox 54 and 57. There was no problem. I called for more help.

Not all pages specify both text and background color.

Did you make changes to the default color settings?

No I haven't changed anything in color settings.

Just cross checked it.

It could be something that Fedora ads to is own branded Firefox version. I vaguely remember having seen another question about color issues also on a Fedora Firefox build.

Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.
