Has MSN Money recently installed an annoying background image? How can I get rid of it?
The fading, striped, blue background makes reading numerical charts extremely difficult. The figures used to be legible red and black on a white background. This just happened today, and I haven't changed any settings that I am aware of. Aside from View: Page Style: No Page Style, or Select All, how can I get legibility out of these pages?

Assuming you're using Firefox with Adblock Plus:
1- Right-click on the ABP icon and select "Open bloackable items".
2- Enter "decoration/02" in the search bar.
3- Shift-click to select all of the items.
4- Right-click them and select Block this item.
5- Select the "Custom" option and enter "http://blstc.msn.com/br/gbl/css/6/decoration/02/*" in the box (sans quote marks, of course).
6- Click Add Filter.
7- Refresh the page.

If you're using FireFox you can use the AdBlock Plus extension to block the background images; a filter on http://blstc.msn.com/br/gbl/css/6/decoration/02/* takes out all the stripey backgrounds.

That's clearly a broken page. Until it gets fixed, just kill styles in FF with the web developer toolbar.
