All my browsers have a light yellow/orangish default background - very
light on the eyes and very good for spotting broken websites (ie not
sites that let you use custom colors but sites that assume browser
settings - for example when some frames specify white background and
others forget about it).
This should be mandatory in any web shop IMHO - but even big sites are
often broken this way.

Yes. But it isn't mandatory. They are broken, but they only look broken in
firefox@fc3 - so people believe that firefox is broken.
And yes, i do also remember that Mosaic had a gray background. 10 years ago.
So, please, please set the *default* settings so that most pages doesn't
look broken.
