Usually I am working with black background and white letters and choose: Open Menu --> Configuration --> Contence --> Colors --> (I choose black background and white letters), --> Choose elected Colors instead of those on webpage --> Always.

Some webpages, however dont work: They show black letters on black background. So I temporarily have to switch back the whole row of instructions with "Never" instead of "Always". Shortly afterwards I choose the whole row of instructions again with "Always" at the end. I would like to have a keyboard shortcut for this color change. How to "program" this ? Can I create a macro like in open office, where the programs keeps a row of mouse clicks in mind, or do I have to install an addon ? (Home: Iceweasel 52.2.0 on Debian 8, Job probably the actual Firefox on win7) Thanks for support.

This can happen if a website assumes default for either text color or background color and only specifies one of these properties.

You can consider to use a bookmarklet to set the default text color to white.

I took the google search and tried https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toggledocumentcolors-198916/

It works perfectly in win7 and Debian8.5. Thanks for support to all of you.

Hi, here I am again. Firefox on win7 updated itself to firefox quantum ... and the addon is not running any more. Well, short pleasure 8-| . I tried several addons (suitable for quantum and not suitable). I got none of them running. Was anyone successful in getting the color toggle functionality running on firefox quantum ? Thanks for help.
