Just recently realized that I can no longer see any of the text posted in ads... this is only happening in firefox on my desktop (up to date version)

I don't see any title or text in the ads - I do see pictures however.

I do see this info: do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers post id: posted: 33 minutes ago email to friend ♥ best of [?] Avoid scams, deal locally Beware wiring (e.g. Western Union), cashier checks, money orders, shipping.

But where the text is supposed to be it's just white. When I highlight it, it doesn't even show me the text, just long blue bars...

I'm not sure if this is a craiglist issue - or if something happened to my firefox to cause this, but everything views fine in internet explorer.

I have ALREADY tried resetting my firefox and disabling addons, but neither worked.

I would add screenshots to try to show the problem, but don't see that I can. Here is a post that this issue is happening on (however - it is really ANY post in ANY category) http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/hsh/4748400588.html

Well that got me on the right track... it was a corrupt Times New Roman Font. So strange. Anyhow, I replaced it with one from a new computer & everything is working again.

Thanks for the help!

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.

This can be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
