Displays are messed up - half the fields are inoperable or missing
Don't know what happened. Everything looked fine, left for the day, returned to screen displays strange on pretty much every website. Some menu options underlined, some input fields not accepting input, search engine results not showing, etc. May have to reset Firefox, but forgot how to do that . . . any suggestions welcome.
Chosen solution
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.
