font white after using Styles with Stylish Addon

Unread post by Vitasta » 2018-03-04, 08:42

Hello,

I have installed Stylish 2.1.1

With this addon, I tried out a lot of different global styles from here: https://userstyles.org/styles/31267/glo ... ng-to-dark :

For examle:

And I have also made my own simple Styles.

Before I tested this Styles, the site http://www.startpage.com looked like this (I took an other browser to take this screenshot):
font here.PNG

Then I tested about 5-15 different Styles, then I deactivated all Styles and I deactivated also Stylish and started Pale Moon again. My expectation was, that the site http://www.startpage.com looks the same as before. But it is different. There is a font missing:

Is there a way to reset Styles? So that the behavior is again normal. Would appreciate your help. Thank you.

You could try to replace 2.1.1 with this version here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... sion-2.0.7

Even if i have to say that my test with 2.1.1 has made no problem - At least with the styles which i am using.

But as you are the second one who says that 2.1.1 seems to make issues - it is best to try an older version for example, as the newer one's can't be used of course as they are webextensions.

Testing for example that style here https://userstyles.org/styles/129056/dark-startpage with 2.0.7 - all normal. It would be helpful if you would post for example the link to the styles you used.

You could also deactivate all other styles.. only let the Startpage one active and see if it works then.

Not sure if you understand my issue completely.
I have deactivated completely all styles and in addition, I have even deactivated the stylish Addon. But there are still websites, which are not displayed correctly. For example http://www.startpage.com.

Oh, sorry, my fault, somehow i must have overlooked that detail :wave:

Delete cookies related to startpage for example to see if that makes a difference, same like with other pages which have troubles to be shown. Just saying, cookie issues can also prevent people from logging into pages like Google mail, so that is a not drastic measure worth trying.

Also, to see that this issue has nothing to do with Pale Moon itself.. grab the portable here http://www.palemoon.org/palemoon-portable.shtml - and try with it and loading pages which gave you some trouble. The portable profile does not damage or harm your normal profile, so nothing to fear :) I personally make use of that often when i encounter an issue to see if it is a trouble with either Pale Moon or my profile ;)

Does not solve the problem.

When I try another Palemoon profile, there is no problem. The white text is black then and I can read it.

I also made the following test with my problem-profile:
starting this profile in protected mode. (Menu->help->start new in protected mode). I checked all check boxes.
-> Result: The problem is not solved this way.

Anybody an idea?

Best and fastest way would be to start with a fresh profile in my opinion.

Export your bookmarks from the old profile, import into the new one - copy over your stylish file, install Stylish again and you have a fully working state again :)

You mean history? There are 3 files called which are called places something - copy that 3 places files over to your new profile. Should do the trick.

Are you using Advanced Night Mode? I had to disable mine due to this exact issue. It seems that when I used it for one site
it then tried to run it on every site. Just thought I would throw this out there.

Thank you.

Yes, I used it some moth, before I decided to change to a "dark style" "stylish theme" instead of "Advanced Night Mode".
(Before I changed to stylish and tried out different stylish themes, of course, I have deactivated "Advanced Night Mode".)

But maybe the phenomena I described, is not an issue of stylish (as I thought), but it is an issue of the "Advanced Night Mode"? Maybe I was not aware of it, during using "Advanced Night Mode".

But in this scenario I am astonished, why the issue is not solved, when I deactivate the addon "Advanced Night Mode". Should this not solve the problem? Not even in the protected mode, the problem is solved. Is it not any simple method to solve this, without making a new profile.

Even when I remove "Advanced Night Mode" out of my profile, the issue is still here.

The extension might have modified default font colour settings. You need to reset them back.
Although not recommended, about:config hackery is the way to get out of this mess.

I have reseted the following switches in about:config:

http://www.startpage.com is as it should be now. I hope now all is like before.
