glaring white flash opon opening new tab ,fixed

To get rid of that white flash when opening a new tab just use stylish or greasemonkey to install "about:blank black". The about:blank page is what gives that white flash right before fast dial loads. If you don't want to install the stylish addon you can also change the about:blank color through user-content.ccs, just google about:blank color for an explanation on that. I hope this helps someone, because that white flash was driving me crazy especially late night with dark themes.
here are links to the addon and userstyle

On my system this has the effect of making the Fast Dial Tab background also black.
Is this the same for you ?
The Style Midnight Surfing Global Dark Style has the same effect

Fine
Strange
I will examine
with the css of the style clearly having
background: #000000!Important;
one could expect the background to be black in Fast Dial
I will get back to you on this..

Submitted by chiaroscuro on Sun, 04/14/2013 - 12:39On the style itself is this image of a new tab
both with and without the style.
The page is clearly shown as nova aba which is portuguese for New Tab.
I wonder what is causing this difference in behaviour.
I will examine

Submitted by chiaroscuro on Tue, 04/16/2013 - 14:03It would seem on more recent Versions of Fast Dial /Firefox the Fast Dial background is not affected, echoing your observations
(Thanks Ef)
It seems however that earlier Versions of Fast Dial/Firefox are effected by the darkening of the Fast Dial background.
Many thanks
