Whenever I try to use custom text colors and custom colors for hyperlinks in Firefox it breaks certain websites and makes them unable to display images. It even happens with Google Images, the images all completely disappear leaving a blank white screen. This didn't use to happen, it started happening when I reinstalled Windows 10 with the fall creators pack update already included. When I had an older version of Windows 10 from before the fall creator update this problem never occurred.

You have to allow pages to choose their own colors. Disabling website colors affects background images like you have noticed.

  • Options/Preferences -> General: Fonts & Colors -> Colors: "Override the colors specified by the page with my selections above"

You can look at the NoSquint Plus extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.

Thanks cor-el! Just installed NoSquint Plus and it seems to work for what I need, however I do wish I could go back to how my Firefox worked before I reinstalled Windows 10 recently though. I like to have black backgrounds with orange text and red hyperlinks since it is easier on my eyes. Since I have an exception put in in NoSquint Plus's settings to make Google.com display normally... it works now, I can see images finally, but it is indeed annoying to have to stare at that white background on Google... yuck! Lol oh well better than nothing I suppose, thanks again.

You're welcome.

You may have to use code in userContent.css to has more option with styling websites, but you need some basic understanding of how CSS code works and need to know how to work with the Inspector. The amount of effort that this requires usually only justifies this for website you visit very often.
