I'm vision impaired; i have to use a dark background color with a gray foreground color.
Iceweasel, in this version, fails to show the right color (gray) for the fonts with a dark background. Should i report this bug to the Mozilla forums or is this an oversight of the Mepis/antiX devs? Like i said, in previous iceweasel versions this problem does not exist.

PD: let me clarify, for every day reading on this site it works correctly, but if i want to post as i'm doing right now, the foreground color is black, eventhough, i chose gray for the text in the Preferences section, making it hard to read with a dark background.

Thanks

I find you image very difficult to read. The font looks to be dark grey on a green back ground.

Try changing the font color in edit>>preferences>>contents>>fonts&colors. select a black or at least darker font, maybe a pretty blue.

No. It's the lightest gray, i even tried white.

If i do that, it will be worse. Believe me i've been doing this for years __{{emoticon}}__

As i mentioned, this is hapenning in the latest version of iceweasel only. In every day use it works flawlessly but if i need to post, that's where it fails.
