This issue or another similar just prevented me from passing the lesson on Firefox. I was able to copy the code over to Chrome and it passed without changes so I’m in the clear but you should be aware for other’s sake. The code was deemed correct but I didn’t see the silver background applied on screen and it failed me for that. (Firefox 63.0.3 (64-bit) on Mac 10.12.6)
