I have no idea what the deal is, but today I started to get gray backgrounds on all links on a page. I didn't change anything.

It's very annoying and you can see an example here:

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems


You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the Safe mode start window.

Thank you! I didn't even know you could go into safe mode :-D I reset the defaults and that did the trick.

Thanks again!
