Firefox on my Windows 11 computer does not display graphic elements correctly.
Is this a Firefox problem or a computer problem?
In Firefox, but not in Edge or Chrome, the shaded boxes enclosing text or delineating the page (on any web page, or in a PDF viewed in the browser) are missing.
In Gmail, for example, all the navigation elements above the list of emails are invisible, e.g. the little box and caption for selecting all the emails on the page, or for refreshing the page; and further, if all the emails are selected, the boxes for: Archive, Report Spam, Delete, Mark As Read, Snooze, Add To Tasks, Move to Inbox, More ... are invisible.
At WashingtonPost.com, for example, the banner ads that automatically display at the top of the home page, and at intervals throughout the page, and the shading around headlines on other pages, do not appear.

I've been trying to upload an image. Apparently I need to add a "Reply" to get that to work now.

You could have added it to that reply.
Is this a new issue or have you just started using Firefox? If it's new, creating a new profile is a quick way of testing whether it's the profile or some software. These articles may help.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
