Stylized text not appearing correctly on webpages

I'm currently trying to diagnose an issue with my Firefox. Ever since I upgraded to macOS Sequoia on my MacBook Pro, certain stylized/formatted texts in Firefox have not been showing up correctly in the browser. I've attached an example below from YouTube. The part of the stylized title text that says "Playlist" is messed up on the YouTube page, but it's correctly rendered in the tab bar. Pasting the YouTube video title into the search bar renders the text correctly in the search bar, but not in the actual search window or results page. I'm also seeing this issue on Instagram, Twitter, etc., so it isn't just a problem with YouTube/Google. The text renders correctly in Chrome and Safari, so I don't think it's necessarily a problem with my computer.

Here's what I've tried so far to diagnose/fix the issue:

  • Quitting Firefox and restarting my computer: didn't work
  • Opening Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode: the text remains messed up
  • Deleting prefs.js from my profile folder: my Firefox stops working and no pages load, not even the New Tab page
  • Firefox Refresh: also did not work
  • Creating a fresh Firefox profile: the new profile renders the text correctly, but signing into my Firefox account on the profile causes the issue to come up again
  • Uninstalling Firefox completely, reinstalling: the text renders, but once again signing into my account causes the issue to reemerge
  • Opening Firefox on my old computer (also MacBook Pro) while signed into my Firefox account: for some reason, the stylized text renders correctly on this computer

I'm at a dead end right now, and would appreciate any help. I could always just create a new profile and forget about it, but this has been driving me crazy for the past few hours. I really don't want to configure all my extensions and browser settings from the beginning, and I hope that I can keep using my original account.

Anyone have any idea what could be going wrong? Thank you!

Hello! Several days ago I had to make a new Win10 computer account and being that when my FireFox reinstalled all my settings from my FireFox Account after signing in I noticed the small search bar at the top where you could use a different search engine was missing. I have been racking my brain to figure how to get it back. Could someone be so kind as to let me know how do I get the small search bar back at the top. Thank you.

All working fine for years. Several months ago, maybe after an update, my sent items folder is not displaying the list of items. The counter showing the number of items in that folder sows over 200 now and it does increment the counter when I send a new message. I search and found a couple of recommended fixes, but none of them work. I went to the file location where the data is stored, and it indeed contains tons of text. Selecting "rebuild folder" just seems to hang. Short of backing up all my data and removing / reinstaling the app, is there anything else I can try?

I WANT DOES LINK GONE FROM MY URL so i can put links that i want to be in there and FF 130 address bar being populated by only the links i want to be there and stay that way! and one more thing i want to get rid of that ugly search with google thing because i don't even use google,further more once all of a sudden in FF 130 MY BROWSER IS MANAGED BY MY ORGANIZATION ? That was never there before this update ,so with all that has been said and screenshot as proof i beg you and plea on your kindness and knowledge to give me guidance how to fix this URL thing first,then how to remove THIS BROWSER IS MANAGED BY YOUR ORGANIZATION and last but not least how to block further FF updates because every new update is worse then the next and just keep pushing the whole browser down the drain !

Hi there,

I'm using Thunderbird beta (currently 131.0b6) and since the penultimate version, no mail appear in the list of mails anymore. The count of new mails is displayed but not the mails themselves. (Last mail to date: 18/09/2024 at 15:33 – more than 40 mails received since that date, all having been counted but never displayed)

What I checked:

- imap configuration - message filters - deletion of .msf files (with thbd closed) -> all old emails disappear - forced sync of trash and junk folders - displayed unread folders, including 'Show / discusions / ignored' - created empty profiles in the beta version (Debian 12 and Windows 11) => same issue - opened a ticket on Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1920376)

 I created an empty profile in the stable version (128.2.3esr on Win11 & Debian 12) => no problem

Thanks for any hint you could provide me with
