invisible text on some webpages
I'm using a Windows 7 Ultimate 62bit .
I've been having problems using firefox for a few months now. When I open some websites (eg. some blogs, facebook etc) not all of the text is displayed. I can see there is supposed to be text there (when i highlight those invisible places with my mouse) but its not visible unless I copy and paste it elsewhere (eg. notepad/word) I dont have problems like this when using chrome or internet explorer though.But firefox is my favourite and default browser i dont want to end up forced to use another browser. :(
Why is it doing this and how do I stop it?! Please help!!!

To make this work on web pages you need to place the code in the userContent.css file without the @namespace line
Add code to the userContent.css file.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/userContent.css
button, input, select, select > input[type="button"], textarea {
-moz-appearance: none !important; background-color: red !important;
}
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

You can try to disable OMTC and leave hardware acceleration in Firefox enabled.
- about:config page: layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled = false
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

You can open the Options window and go to the Advanced tab and disable hardware acceleration to see if that helps.
You can tab the the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar and open the Tool menu.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting. See:
