A slight color-shift in all browsers on my screens - no matter how the
page/text is resized or moved around. The combination of thin yellow
letters on a green background tends to shift slightly into a dirty
yellow/green color mix that /may/ be called blue-ish.
The effect will depend on type and quality of screens, connection-cables
etc. It is not too bad on my screens, but it isn't a very pleasant
effect either.
On a "rig" (just a weak, low-budget, monitor-cable) I sometimes use to
test for such effects in order to avoid them, the color-mix you've used
goes crazy all over the yellow/green/blue specter of the rainbow, and
switches wildly if I move or resize.
It's about hitting the right, physical, screen-pixels, for which
frequency and echo-effects in cables etc. play a major role.
The technical effect is made worse by the optical illusion such
color-mixes and line-thicknesses creates, and will usually not look good
on "flat-screens" no matter what. Old "tubes" will normally do, or at
least look, better.
Anyway, unless your Firefox has gone completely nuts (which is rare but
can happen :-) ), it isn't your browser, or CSS as such, that are at
fault. It is rather a combination of lines and colors that is
challenging technically and optically, and your rig, and maybe also your
eyes, that can't handle it well.
Hard enough to ensure somewhat correct colors at the user-end since
hardly two hardware/software packages in use are of the same quality and
with the same, and somewhat proper, settings. Thus, I can only advice
you to choose combinations that are less challenging - if at all possible.
