no matter which version I use, it seems some C++ library is missing. I have uninstall e deleted all folder, clean windows xp registry.

I'm using windows xp professional service pack 3

Have tried another firefox version, same thing!

I think google is sabotating firefox! hehehhe just a guess! Internet Explorer seems ok too.

Did you block images in Firefox? Check Options > Content and see if "Load images automatically" is checked. If so, look at exceptions and make sure you did not block images for that site there.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

Did you check all possibilities from the "Website_colors_are_wrong" article including the Windows accessibility setting?


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I have checked all this possibilities from cor-el answers, nothing solved the problem, I appreciate you guys attempting. I think the problem is not with firefox, because i have uninstalled everything version, folders and files and registry entries. As I said before, the problem seems to be with the windows c++ library, thus who gonna solve this problem is a developer that works with firefox's graphical library. they know the problem.
