Windows 7, 64bit - perfectly running system, FF was running fine with no issues until it updated to 59.0.1 Since then, the first tab is always OK but all other tabs are busted. The tab itself is OK but the contents of the page for that tab are all black or mostly black with some content. F5 refreshes and the page semi-loads with some content showing but still mostly black. "IF" a page actually loads, then some several items on the page just go missing; This happens on every website under all conditions. Everything has always worked perfectly until this latest update to 59.0.1 then it just fell apart - - - any ideas or fixes on the horizon?

hi, thanks for reporting this. we are currently looking into this issue in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1435472

it appears to be an issue that only affects users who have turned off cleartype font rendering within their windows settings. so a workaround for the moment would either be to turn cleartype back on or disabling hardware acceleration in firefox and restart the browser once: Firefox's performance settings
