What are the default color setting in Firefox?

Did you change these as well to a dark background or is the default background color still white?

That web page doesn't specify a background color (I see transparent in the Inspector), so you would see the default background color. I don't know if you can override an inverted High Contrast theme with settings in "Options/Preferences > Content".

Does an extension like NoSquint work?

Heres what i know, Chrome Works for that page. Not sure why it does and firefox does not, im not looking to details on why it doesnt and then oh well to bad so sad, id like a solution, and no the no squints addon is not something i want to use, i briefly looked at the description and have no desire setting up 100s of webpages fonts and colors, like i said i just want them as they are supposed to be. The way they look in chrome while i still have my high contrast theme, here is a link to a old thread in reedit, https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/2pdlj1/how_do_i_disable_accessibility_integration_with/ there look at that also, sooo it looks like im SOL, and stuck with chrome....Lame...super duper lame...

I changed nothing in chrome, that is how the webpage is supose to look. And using a high contrast theme in windows 10, it looks like that in firefox, with the Option NEVER selected, the other options make it worse and the highcontrast theme takes over, i was hoping there was advanced settings for firefox that you would know how to change to basically ignore the theme of windows and operate i dunno default i guess. or if it were not a high contrast theme, i never changed any settings, only touched the never,always and only in high contrast buttons. Plagggueddd :( plagggueeed with chrome, i feel gross using it :(. Help Help Help :( :( :(. And i can say that this is one of the bad forum support pages, IMO.

NoSquint has a global setting for all web pages, but can also have separate settings for those pages that don't go well with the global setting.

nosquint is not the solution, im still stuck using chrome :(

no more help :(?

When you use a High Contrast theme with a black background, Firefox does not use the standard black-on-white color scheme for default colors -- used when a site has failed to specify its preference -- instead, it uses white-on-black. Correction: depending on which high contrast theme, the text color may be yellow or something else instead of white.

In order to override this without ruining sites that DO have default colors, you can apply custom style rules to individual sites. For example:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("kijiji.ca") {
  html, body {
    color: #000000 !important;
    background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;
  }
}

That yields black on slightly-grayer-than-blinding white.

Custom style rules can be applied to pages in Firefox using either:

(1) A userContent.css file (2) The Stylish extension

Are you interested in giving either of those a try?

Note: I tested in Windows 7, not Windows 10. I didn't test to see whether NoSquint allows this more easily.

Note: Since custom style rules are injected into pages on the site, in order for them to work, you need to set override to "Never" in Color options.

well what about using "never" because it gives me that black crap with to dark of writing, vs chrome that works fine... i mean id rather not have to go through so much to be able to have the site the way it is intended. how would i test your method, step by step?, and is that something im going to have to do for each page i come across that looks stupid?

Chrome, i hate, but it works without any of this addon nonsense or to much trouble, same site, as shown in pic.

Firefox i love, but it does not work and that makes me sad :(. Just seems to me like someone cheaped out on the "Never" option or something.

The "Never" option does what you want in most cases, except when sites do not specify the default text and background colors. In that case, Firefox uses the colors from the high contrast theme.

The method I suggested does require site-specific rules. I understand you are not very inclined toward that, but if there are just a handful of problem sites, it might be worth a try. I could post the steps later.

also, i tried playing with the "Only with high contrast" and "always" to see if i could find something that worked, the images wont even load, like the google logo or that kijihi pages images... seriously annoying >.< this needs to be fixed, not worked around. dont bother with the steps later, thanks for your efforts guys, i found the breaking flaw with firefox the support system and the colors and such for high contrast themes. Super lame, guess i will try another browser :(

Here in support we work with the Firefox we have today. If you want to suggest that a future version of Firefox allow your sections in the Colors dialog to override the default colors in the high contrast theme, you can submit your suggestion on the following page (click the sad face):
