I seem to recall years ago (10+?), a "default" background setting in 
Firefox (or maybe it was Netscape).  Where, if a stylesheet or 
background= setting was not set for the site, firefox/netscape defaulted 
to a shade of gray that was horrible on many websites.  I had to 
specifically set the background on my websites to white or #ffffff to 
make them look right.

Does Firefox have a default background setting?
