Drop down box in 56.0.2 blank on mouse select and check marks do not render in check box

Just upgraded from Firefox 53 to 56.0.2 on Fedora 19...

Check boxes no longer render a mark when checked, just the empty box.

Also, select lists when dropped down and scrolling through the options no longer render the currently selected item... it is blank.

HTML code used for the test is shown below: 

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test Page for Firefox 56.0.2 on Fedora 19</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM>
<SELECT NAME=CLASS><OPTION VALUE=1 SELECTED>Goods - Taxable</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=2>Goods - ON Exempt</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=3>Contract Services</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=4>Professional Services</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=5>Consulting Services</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=6>Contract Expense Reimb.</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=7>Services - ON Exempt</OPTION>
</SELECT>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

You have errors in your video card drivers. Suggest reinstall and/or....

Suggest uninstall Firefox and reinstall https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

This can happen in case you use a GTK+ 2 theme in your Linux distribution, so make sure that your Linux theme is GTK+ 3 compatible.

It was a fresh install of Fedora 56.0.2 and the issue is there even with GTK3+ compatible theme. If I use the hideously-ugly High Contrast theme then I can see that in that theme the highlighted option in the drop down is rendered in a very light color (essentially white on gray) but still almost unusable.
