Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

I like to keep the background of the input boxes in my OS(Ubuntu) black. This should not effect how webpages are rendered, but it does. My customizations to my OS such as making text boxes black result in black input boxes on webpages as well, sometimes with black text making it unreadable. I have also had trouble reading "Terms of service" agreements on pages due to black text on a black background.

I would like an option for the rendered content of a web page to refer to the standard colorings that web designers expect when they created their page. It would be nice if the content of the web pages I viewed was not effected at all by my custom OS coloring scheme. Thanks.
