I've installed some useful Firefox addons, like "stylish", which make pages darker so my monitor isn't so blinding at night. The problem is that Firefox turns blinding white as the page is loading. It only shows the pages' style or the addons' style when the page is loaded, which can be a while sometimes. How do I get the default background color to be black?
I already tried setting the "Background Color" under "Content" -> "Colors" (as shown below). It either doesn't do anything, or it makes all text on all pages completely unreadable if I choose "Always" in the dropdown. Is there another way?

The
Mozilla
directory depends on your operating system:After finding the
Mozilla
directory you have to go through a few more directories to find your profile directory. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox.In your profile directory, if it doesn't exist, create the
chrome
directory. Then create a new text file inchrome
calleduserChrome.css
with the following contents:You can change the background color to whatever you want. Unfortunately for me the screen still flashes white very briefly but this fix is still very nice.
