www.google.com - Background is gray

URL: https://www.google.com/search?q=test

Browser / Version: Firefox 115.0 Operating System: Linux Tested Another Browser: Yes Other

Problem type: Something else Description: Background is gray Steps to Reproduce: The background of the page is gray. This only seems to happen when logged in. It doesn't seem to be caused by an element on the page; I can remove the head and body elements from the DOM in the dev tools, and it remains gray (and the HTML element has a transparent background).

We appreciate your report. I was not able to reproduce the issue following the steps to reproduce:

Tested with:

Browser / Version: Firefox 115.8.0esr (64-bit) Operating System: Ubuntu 22.4 LTS x64

Suggestion: Try clearing cache/data/cookies, disabling add-ons and Ad-blocker (if available) and extensions or use a clean profile, and check again? If there are any changes made to the default settings of the browser (e.g. in about:config) please revert to the default settings and try again. Also, have the required cookies been accepted for this page?

It does happen in a different profile as well.

Only seems to happen when logged into my work Google account though, not my private account.

Looks like the gray color is a page background color Firefox uses by default, so any element that doesn't override the background color gets that color. Chromium based browsers on the other hand uses a white default background color.

This BTW is on Plasma, with the default Breeze theme. It does not happen if I change browser.display.use_system_colors to false

@LinAGKar Does it reproduce in Firefox Release or Nightly?

I can reproduce it on both Release and Nightly. Although in the upstream tarballs, browser.display.use_system_colors is false by default, and I need to change it to true to reproduce the issue. Apparently MozillaFirefox-branding-openSUSE changes it to true.

@denschub Can you take a look at this, please?
