I go to a website (say the National Hurricane Center). Click on a storm. Then click on "discussion" (this is where the forecasters post basically a blog about their thoughts about a storm). After the latest "update" (I say "stupidity") from Mozilla, I get a blank page. If I "select" the type, it appears. In Chrome, the "discussion" text appears with no problem.

WTF is wrong with Firefox? I go to delete a recurring date on my Google calendar and get blank, but I "select" it, the type appears.

You idiots have again changed settings that normal users cannot easily fix. I don't want to go in and change the reg:whatever, blahblahblah ... why does this kind of crap happen?

Looks that you get white text on white background.

You can possibly check the default colors to see whether they are default (black text on white background).

Make sure you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the OS settings. Make sure you allow pages to choose their own colors.

  • Settings -> General: Fonts & Colors -> Colors: "Override the colors specified by the page with my selections above"

Try "Never" if the default "Only with High Contrast themes" isn't working.

Thanks. Such a simple, but effective answer. I don't know if the Mozilla update changed the settings switch on the text color, but it was text=white when I checked. Thanks so much.
