Why is my text not showing up when I type in search bar AND on websites?

Whenever I type, text shows up white (or blank), even when I highlight it. I have tried restarting in safe mode and disabling addons and nothing resolves the issue.

This occurs on nearly all website most of the time.

I guess I will use Chrome until it gets fixed.

hi, 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: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings

Does this fix the issue ?
