Nut upsdev - Dec 2013 - cgi graphs text unreadable (black-on-black)

Guys,

  This is probably known, but since I working on nut tonight, I thought I would
make sure. This is with the latest built from git. The cgi-bin script that shows
the graph of upsstats has text that is unreadable. The text is black and the
background is black. Here is a screenshot:

  Here is the same page with the text selected with the mouse:

  I don't know how the cgi scripts are formatting the text, but the
index.html,
bottom.html and header.html files use some very very old html color settings. I
don't know if that is the problem, but I've tried adding
style="color:#51B3B1"
in various tags in the header.html and index.html files, but no difference.

  What say the experts?

That's odd.

I'll admit that I don't use the CGI graphs much (I send the data to RRD
files with collectd), but I just built the Debian package for NUT 2.7.1 locally,
and the defaults yield green text on black.

Do you have any customizations relative to the original HTML templates? Any CSS
overrides in the browser to force black text?

Also, what version of Firefox is that? Is it potentially a problem with an
extension? (It's a long shot, since the default HTML templates don't
load any external stylesheets.) I tried it here with both Firefox 25 and Safari,
and the green text shows up in both cases.

Firefox 26 -- it is definitely the problem! I tried in an old konqueror browser
an it displays the green text just fine:

Who would have thought. I'll follow up with mozilla there. That's (1)
issue down :p
