Didn't know how to alter my question. Hyperlinks get Blue, but the text is also not shown. At "translate.google.com" I have the same problem.

Hi synergyfuerth, you have white text on a white background on those two sites? One way to confirm that text is present but there is a lack of color contrast is to press Ctrl+a (or right-click a blank area of the page > Select All). Does the text appear when selected or are those areas still blank?

Could you check your Firefox color settings on the Options page:

• Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
• Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
• Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
• Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it

In the search box at the top of the page, type color and Firefox should filter the page down so you can easily find the "Colors" button. Go ahead and click that.

(1) You will see Text and Background each with a button showing the current default color.

This is the color used if the page doesn't specify otherwise. Hopefully those are okay?

(2) Try changing this setting in case there is an odd interaction with your Windows theme:

"Override the colors specified by the page with your selections above"

Below that, it usually says

"Only with High Contrast themes"

Click that and change the setting to

"Never"

then click OK to finish the change.

Does that help at all?

Here's a screenshot of that part of the Colors dialog:

I saw some threads about missing content in parts of pages on Reddit. The developers suggest trying this settings change to see whether it has an effect:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste omtp and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the layers.omtp.enabled preference to switch the value from true to false

That change will take effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it up again.

Well, no, this does not work. But i figured out that it sometimes(!) works in a new Tab. Or if I just restart FF. Is there a possibility to go back to 58 ? I need to have more tabs open, and restarting every 3 minutes, well, it's not that cool.

If it helps: I'm a german user.

{{Edit}} Tried the omtp also, doesn't help. I will restart Windows, sometimes this is the easiest solution :-)

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

• switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
• do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

• Options/Preferences -> General: Performance
  remove checkmark: [ ] "Use recommended performance settings"
  remove checkmark: [ ] "Use hardware acceleration when available"
• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings

Close and restart Firefox after modifying the setting to make the change effective.

Thanks "cor-el", that works for me =)

To be honest, yes I didn't update my graphics driver for quite a while. I'm on it.

Hi synergyfuerth, there is a bug open related to ClearType. Apparently if you disable ClearType in Windows -- which also affects Firefox -- that can cause some invisible text issues. One reason it might not affect ALL text is that some fonts are smoothed in Firefox and others are not.
