Hi there,

It is not an error or something, but rather an interface issue.

I'm using dark themes on Firefox, cause I work in front of the notebook for long hours and trying to maintain safe condition for my eyes. So, the problem is, that every time I open a new tab, the page part of the browser flashes, and it's especially uncomfortable when it happens at night. I've tried to change the background color of about:home and about:blank to grey color using Styles plugin for Firefox, but despite I succeed in changing the color, the flashes are still present.

P.S.: If you need additional info please do not hesitate to write to me, thanks. Sorry for my English, hope you understand the problem,

Hope to hear from you soon Eugene

You mean that you get a blank white tab before the page loads? I fixed that by putting a line of code into the browser.css file of a theme, at the beginning, and that changes the background colour to some other colour.

browser {background: blue;}

It works in a userChrome.css file as well. The code:

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* set default namespace to XUL */

browser {background: blue !important;}

That file has to be located in a chrome subdirectory in the Firefox profile.

Nope, like I already said, about:blank and about:home pages colour is already set to grey. Never mind, I've already found the problem of flashing screen, it is because of bookmarks plug-in "Super Start", I've changed it to "Speed Dial" and everything is OK now. Thanks anyway!
