Transparent bakground makes it hard to read and type

[quodlibetor]

For some reason the f1 popup doesn't have a background color under most of it. I assume that it should, since in all the demo pictures it does.

I'm on Ubuntu 10.10, minefield 4b13pre (but this bug has been in effect since I first installed f1, so it's spanned at least 4 betas.)

Picture!

That's strange...could you clear cache and restart fx to see if that is resolved?

[quodlibetor]

That didn't help. I also created a new profile and installed f1 into it, and I got the same issue.

I get the same effect when i test in a brand-new profile with the RC, which I didn't expect.

I have been trying it on Ubuntu 10.10, just tried again with the Firefox 4.0 RC, and it displays fine for me. Is there something maybe with graphic drivers or enabling of hardware acceleration/WebGL on your system that is different than a stock install?

[quodlibetor]

Not that I can think of. I never did anything weird with the graphics drivers, anyway. This os has been upgraded twice, though, so god knows.

I've got an ATI card, so no webgl, and about:support says that I have 0/1 GPU accelerated windows.

All the webgl.* prefs that show up in about:config are false, except for shader_validator, which is true, and osmesalib, which is an empty string.

layers.acceleration.* are both false, too.

I've added this to the bugzilla tracker, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642929 but I think we can keep this open here until we've figured out a fix.

I'm also experiencing exactly the same bug.
Running f1 on ArchLinux with Firefox 4.0, and i'm using an ATI card with the
latest catalyst drivers (11.2).

(same msg also posted to the bugzilla)

Same here, originally installed f1 on 4.0pre13 and upgraded to 4.0, issue still exists.
Ubuntu 10.10, ATI card, driver fglrx-2:8.780-0ubuntu2 (probably Catalyst 10.9)

[ghost]

Same here. Ubuntu 10.10, FF4, ATI radeon card, catalyst drivers.

[ivanalejandro0]

Same here.
Firefox 4.01
ati-drivers 11.3 (propietary) - same with latest open source x11 driver

Tried with new profile and issue persist.

[johnbrondum]

Same here for Firefox 4, 5, and the latest beta. Ubuntu 11.04.

The issue went away for me when I uninstalled in proprietary driver for my fglrx graphics card and reverted back to the radeon open source driver.

Hi the same for me 10.10 Firefox 3.6.16, the bug started after installing Firebug and GeoSurf.

[clarkbw]

Just a heads up. Future work on F1 is taking place in the fx-share-addon https://github.com/mozilla/fx-share-addon/ repo. I'll try to keep this issue updated as it gets fixed but the fix will land elsewhere.
