I have a workaround for this. Edit your local copy of the browse.css file and copy the background color from the container style to the footer style and thereby making it invisible. If you highlight the position with your cursor, you'll see it's actually still there.
#container {
max-width: 1000px;
min-width: 400px;
min-height: 230px;
background-color:
#fff1e2;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.
.
.
#footer {
font-size: small;
color:
#fff1e2;
text-align: right;
margin-right: 30px;
}
