it looks like the function 
getSystemColor(..)
malfunctioned.

(which is used in Windows to convert terms like "menubackground" into real
colors from the system) maybe there is a compatibility problem with Linux. 

Try the attached test version, it should catch the error and return #000000
(black) which you can override. You should also see the name of the
unrcecognized system color in the error console.

Dear Axel

That patched version makes everything work fine, so far as I can see. No error
message, no malfunction. Excellent. Thank you very much.

However, I could see no error message in the console. But that may be because I
am using the console incorrectly - I am new to it.

I am unsure whether to mark this bug as fixed.

The error console doesn't always show messages which were sent before it was
opened; OTOH, if messages are flying so fast you can't catch them, it may be
useful to clear the console just before attempting the troublesome operation.

Oh, and you may also need to set the console to display "all" messages, or at
lease those of the kind you're interested in.

Axel, the assignee, will set the bug RESOLVED FIXED when he believes that his
latest published fix is final and correct; then afterwards if you, the
reporter, don't see the bug anymore in the circumstances where it used to
happen, you can change RESOLVED to VERIFIED.

Tony, I couldn't see any reports at all in the console. And I still can't, no
matter what I do. I don't want to spend any more time on this, I am afraid.

Don't worry about it.  The upshot is that one of your "system" colors is set to
black (it could be menu backgrounds) which you cam change by selecting any
color or palette entry. 

I think the console entries can be also found in tools > Web developer >
browser tools but it's complicated. 

As regards setting bug status to fixed I usually do it when I release the new
version on AMO

Tools > Developer Tools > Developer Toolbox

Then Console
and make sure to enable the dropdowns
JS > Warnings + Errors
Logging > all (just click the menu item so it is highlighted will tick all
boxes)

Net and Server do not need to be enabled.

Finally it is also possible to run consoleĀ² and follow the instructions here:
