Help!: Entry/text fields on firefox are black. How to change it?

Hi!

I've just installed SE on my Ubuntu 8.04 and IMO it's amazing!!!

Just one thing, I don't really like that text fields of webpages are modified in Firefox (for example google's classical entry field is black as well as the Sign In of most forums). Can I change it to the default? i.e , don't want SE to change anything within webpages.

Thanks!!!

I was considering holding the fix for ransom. Say some Ubuntu SE merchandise. But thats not the Ubuntu way, is it?

So here is how you fix firefox 3:

navigate to ./mozilla/firefox/~/chrome and open userContent-example.css

Then add my code to the end:

/* Smooth Scrolling Workaround: Disable Fixed Background Images on Pages */
body {
background-attachment: scroll !important;
}

input {
border: 2px inset white;
background-color: white;
color: black;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}

textarea {
border: 2px inset white;
background-color: white;
color: black;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}

select {
border: 2px inset white;
background-color: white;
color: black;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}

input[type="radio"],
input[type="checkbox"] {
border: 2px inset white ! important;
background-color: white ! important;
color: ThreeDFace ! important;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}

*|*::-moz-radio {
background-color: white;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}

button,
input[type="reset"],
input[type="button"],
input[type="submit"] {
border: 2px outset white;
background-color: #eeeeee;
color: black;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}

body {
background-color: white;
color: black;
display: block;
margin: 8px;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}


Then save the edited file as userContent.css

Let me know how it works.

After applying my fix, I also recommend a dark firefox theme.
I like Red Shift.

While we are talking about firefox 3. Here are three different things you can do to make firefox faster:

1. Install Fasterfox 3.0.4 Add-on - you will love it, exceeds RFC specs and increase load to webservers, it uses rendering tweaks and network optimizations to make firefox a lot faster

2. Install Adblock Plus 1.0.1 Add-on - works great, you will love this add-on too. Why does it make firefox faster? simple. blocking ads makes pages load faster.

3. If you are brave, go to Edit>Preferences>Security and uncheck the two boxs that say "Tell me if the site I am visiting is a suspected attack site" and "Tell me if the site I am visiting is a suspected forgery".

these 3 tweaks also work for firefox 3 in windows xp and vista.

Also I just read on digg firefox 3 is faster if you download the windows firefox 3 exe file, install and run with wine, it is faster than firefox running natively on linux.

I've added your config to the Dark Theme Tips page:

Thanks again for helping our users and anyone who uses dark themes.

So how about those stickers? T-shirt?

And what happened to the merchandise page?

Good point my friend. I sometimes forget what this is all about.
