Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

Thank you but it was already checked to allow pages to choose their own colors. southwest.com is the website. But *only* issue with Firefox. IE8 works fine with site.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

That button is part of this sprite image:

Do you see that image on the Tools > Page Info > Media window?

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 or otherwise make changes.

I'm having the same issue, the "Search" button that is supposed to be orange is just completely missing. I can still click where it is supposed to be and it works just the visibility isnt there. I tried CCleaner, i tried several anti spyware/malware searches. I dont know what else to do.

Attached is a screenshot
