This evening I tried to override the background color of web pages with one of my choice.
Surprise: many, many HTML elements in webpages disappeared or changed drastically. This happens in any website I visited since.
This is the setting I changed:
And this is the result on Palemoon website. Same thing on other sites, as I said.
Reverting color settings to default, the problem disappears.

Re: Override background color makes many other elements disappear
That is working exactly as it should. It's an accessibility feature, and custom colors for backgrounds will override background images of elements because otherwise it wouldn't be very effective.

Re: Override background color makes many other elements disappear
I had the same issue with some web sites and use this on those.
Color That Site! 0.16.1-signed.1-signed
It does a better job on those type of sites but takes a bit to learn it.
