Only capable of displaying 256 colours? Yes there may be some in the
third world. In the European market you target your site at? A
negligible number.
Anyway, web safe colours were never as important as most people think.
Not for text/backgrounds anyway. So long as there's strong contrast
between the foreground and background then even if the colours get
shifted a little the text will still be readable. The web safe palette
was slightly more important when creating GIFs but I still wouldn't
worry about it any more.

Start a new thread then. This has nothing to do with "Centred headers
browsed at Firefox" anymore. But, free clue, look at all the other
images on that results page, what (totally pointless feature) does your
URL have different?
