Can't read while typing in form boxes
I know how to change the text color, but all my forms have light grey text in them and the regular way to change text color doesn't affect them. I can barely see what I'm typing unless I click outside of the box, THEN it turns dark grey. How can I fix this?

I did find in about:config that one of the texts was labeled as #C0C0C0 which out of every color is probably the only one I remember (lol) and it happens to be grey, so I changed it and it overrode the form color.

That can be caused by the "Keystroke protection" in Comcast Constant Guard. "Configure Anti-Keylogging Settings" -> disable
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I do have Comcast cable internet, but I never installed anything, I just use a Netgear wireless USB adapter to connect. I switched into safe mode and it's still using grey text. I also changed to the default theme before switching to safe mode and in both regular and safe mode the form text is still light grey. Is there anything else you could think of that could be causing it?
I do have AVG Anti-Virus and I haven't been on the internet with this computer in a few years so I don't know if perhaps the update of Firefox and the update of AVG might have caused some sort of issue.
