My eyeballs just exploded... Unreadable.

  Readability's bookmarklets help: https://www.readability.com/bookmarklets/ https://www.readability.com/bookmarklets/ (But, yeah.)

    I recommend the "zap colors" bookmarklet from https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/zap.html https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/zap.html It simply changes all colors so that text is black-on-white, but leaves everything else unchanged.

      Sadly, it's not just colours that are the problem. Font sizes, poorly sized and laid-out pages, overlapping divs and other elements, animiations.... Readability fixes most of that quickly.

    The newest version of Firefox has a little icon resembling an open book at the right side of address field that does something similar. Quite handy :)

      Nice. I'd prefer that was the _default_ browser view, frankly.

    I think OP's issue is with the low contrast between yellow and black; it is suboptimal for reading. It was readable but could have been better with some slight color changes.

  Yellow on black is a very readable/contrast colour. However I can believe the yellow is offensive on some screens/peoples eyes. http://www.steven-mcdonald.id.au/ugly.shtml http://www.steven-mcdonald.id.au/ugly.shtml :D He should still ditch the yellow though.

  It was the first time I have used the Reader View on Firefox and I was really impressed with it.

  I used same bg/fg colors everywhere in firefox, solve the issue long time ago :D

  I have the opposite experience. Thanks to the dark background my eyes were way more comfortable than on HN for example.
