Firefox always prints webpage background color

I have used two different computers and two different printers with same results. Printing works fine when printed from Internet Explore. Older versions of Firefox workfine. An example page is my home page http://www.dixonvision.com

I have been printing from three different computers. All three with new installs of the latest versions of Firefox. Two of the three are new laptops running Windows 7, the third ia an old Windows XP desktop. All three have access to three network printers.
I spent many hours last night working on this issue and I think I found the issue but I know of no way to fix it.
I have low vision and so when using computers I set them into the High Contrast Mode. It is when the computers are in High Contrast Mode that Firefox prints the background of websites.
This was never an issue in Firefox before version 4. Maybe a fix for this will be in the next build.

Firefox 29+: Strange toolbar background color

Started in FF29, Roboform toolbar has a strange toolbar background color. It only happens if the Bookmarks toolbar is hidden.
I've tried the following css rules, but to no avail.
#rf-toolbar-container
background-image: none !important;
background-color: -moz-dialog !important;
background: -moz-dialog !important;
box-shadow: none !important;
Win 7, Classic theme.
*I've written to Roboform. It hasn't been fixed.*
I'd appreciate your help.

What kind of color do you see?
Can you attach a screenshot?

Does it help if you disable all other extensions in Firefox and use the default theme?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Webpage background color changed without me changing it.

The background color on my webpage changed and I dont think I did anything to the code. I have tried several things to fix it but its stays gray. It was a maroon color (#660000). I have tried moving the <body bgcolor="#660000"> before and after the closing head tag, and changing the number for a new color. Nothing works. What is it Im missing?
The website is http://www.rumcnow.com.
Thanks in advance.

Random point and shoot rarely helps with web pages. It just leads to invalid code and web pages which don't work.
See http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rumcnow.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automa tically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
Needs a little cleanup. Help yourself by learning a little HTML and CSS.
I suspect you've created a background color in the CSS file for your contact form and, by adding a link to that CSS file in your home page and moving the body tag to make it invalid, you've inadvertently overridden the BG color on the home page.
As a starting point, in the HTML file of the home page
change
</style>
<body bgcolor="#660000">
</head>
to
</style>
</head>
<body>
In the CSS file http://www.rumcnow.com/ContactForm.css
change
body {
background:#E9E9E9;
to

background:#660000;

InDesign PDF transparent images not printing right background color.

problem with exporting an InDesign Document to a PDF and printing. My transparent images are showing up with a darker background than what they are placed on. Know how to help?

Thanks everyone! That really helped.
There were a few other things that I had to make sure of also.
Solution:
Images placed in InDesign that were made in Photoshop or another program should be in ckmy format. The background needs to be in the same ckmy. Transparency blend must be set at CKMY, then Transparency Flattener presents must be set at Rasters/Vectors: 0 Line art and text resolution: 600, Gradient and mesh resoltuion 300. Exporting to PDF must be done under present PDF/X-4:2008 Compatibility: Acbrobat 7.

Firefox and SeaMonkey do not show any webpage backgrounds and hot buttons don't have borders and entry windows like the one I'm typing in don't have borders. The only reason I can type here is I saw a cursor in this big blank area.

Firefox 3.6.16 and SeaMonkey 2.0.13 yesterday stopped displaying webpage background color. Everything is white. This text box has such a faint grey line around it that I didn't know it was there.
Every webpage I look at has the same issue.
Bing works correctly.
IE got corrupted a month ago and I've stopped using it.
My Windows 7 programs, Outlook, Word, Excel changed their color settings and some icons, Print & Paste, on the toolbars are larger like 1995 quality.

Background color and float problems

Hello all,
I am having a problem with the background color and the left
float for a navigation sidebar (also with the background color for
the footer). The body color is set to gray, and the main page is
centered with a white background. I set up the pages using mostly
CSS, with a few tables where they seemed necessary. I set up the
navigation side bar as a div with a green background and a left
float. The footer is set up as a div with a green background. All
text is aligned left.
When I preview in Safari, everything looks as expected.
In Firefox and IE5: The background color of the navigation
sidebar has white showing up behind the type that are not links
(e.g., mailing address and subheads). The div does not float all
the way to the left edge of the page. The background color of the
footer should be green but shows up as white. I validated the code
in DW, and it reports no problems (at least, it checked out after I
made a few corrections).
I am not that concerned about the background color for the
footer -- it is either all there (in Safari) or not there at all
(in Firefox and IE). But I would like to see if I can make it show
up. For the navigation sidebar, would putting it in a table cell
make it work correctly in Firefox and IE?
Regarding the left float issue for the nav sidebar IE5: At
the top of the page, my logo banner (it's placed in a div) shifted
to the right (in IE only). When I added a left float to the banner,
the banner lines up fine with the rest of the page, but a white
margin appears along the left side of the entire page.
None of my pages are uploaded to a web host yet. This is my
first website. I am working in DW8 on a Mac.
Thanks in advance,
Kathy (Daylilybud)

Mista,
Here is my home page based on the template I sent previously.
Thanks in advance!

Won't print webpages in black and white

Printing works fine when I am printing documents and other files, but when I want to print a webpage, printing is only done in color. Even though I check 'Print black and white' on my computer's print preview page, and the print preview is in black and white, the printer still prints webpages in color. What do I need to do to ensure that the commands I type on my computer reaches the printer? How do I make sure the printer is following the instructions I give it? I am able to change it to black and white when I go into control panel > devices and printers > preferences > color > grayscale. But when I have this checked it will only print in black and white and never color. I am not able to figure out how to change it so that it prints black and white OR color depending on my command in the print preview page. This is becoming very costly because of the uneccessary color ink that is being used so your help is appreciated.

Hi there,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system are we using?

Convert background colors to PDF from Word 03

When I convert a Word document to Acrobat PDF the background color disappears. What do I do?

It may depend on how you are converting. If you are printing, be sure that WORD is set to print the background colors. Printing background colors is often turned off to prevent using up the toner in a regular printer.

How do I change the background color on pages I try to print or view?

when I installed/downloaded Mozilla/Firefox originally, I "set" an option that changed the "background" color for certain pages that I download. When I try to print some pages, the entire background (or some blank spaces) is printed in a purple color. (It uses too much ink to print a page.)
Can't find where I can change the original settings I used and make the background white, or no color at all.

Specifically to add a background color, no. The only workaround I am aware of is to add a text box to the document format and expand it to cover the entire page. Available colors will be limited, and you may need to experiment with the opacity.

The toolbar displays File, Edit, View, etc. print too small & barely able to read. How to enlarge print. Also background color of toolbars hard to read. It is black. make larger?

The Menu Bar, Roboform Bar in general all toolbars the print is too small and barely able to read. Please tell me how to enlarge the print. Also, the background color is black and hard to read. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Use this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface:
*Theme Font & Size Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
Increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps to adjust the size of all fonts and other elements in Firefox.<br />
In current Firefox versions this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages if the above steps made the text too large.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/

My screen background color is off-white & this color comes through on the print page. Page Setup/Print Background is set off. How do I fix this? Problem first popped up with version 6, still there with version 8.0.1

File/Page Setup/Format & Options/Options/Print Background (colors & images): Check box set off.
This setting does not work as my screen background color still comes through on the print preview & the print page.
Is this because the newer Firefox versions have blocked my graphics driver version?

See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683139 Bug 683139] – Using the 'High Contrast Black' 'Accessibility Option' in Win XP results in the screen colours being printed.

No mean to obtain a correct background color under Firefox

On my web site (www.tregor.fr), I set a color #FFFFEE for the
body background.
Then I have a div tag (boite-niveau2) that contains the left
menu and the text of the page; the background color is white
(#FFFFFF) for boite-niveau2.
Under IE, the background is always white for boite-niveau2 ;
no problem.
But under Firefox, you can see that under the left menu, the
color is the body background color (#FFFFEE) and not the
boite-niveau2 background color (#FFFFFF.) as it should be. Is this
a bug of Firefox or is there a mean to fix the pb?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Unlike table cells which get their height from the height of
the tallest
cell in the row, in case of divs the height depends only on
its content and
is not affected by height of other divs floated next to it.
Your menu div
extends only to the height required and ends there. Below
that there's
nothing and hence the background color of the background
shows.
Google faux columns .. or .. equal height columns to get a
solution for
this.
You cannot lose until you give up !!!

How can I correct background color and graphics in Firefox?

For some reason some background color images and fonts do not appear in Firefox. Other browsers are mostly fine. I've tried most common fixes to no avail. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate.
I've attached two screenshots. One is Firefox viewing Google. The other one may be relevant because I can't change the color of fonts in Word and other Office docs.
Anyway, I'm stumped on the Firefox side. The browser has been uninstalled, re installed, and refreshed.

Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
*http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/turn-on-high-contrast
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.
