Firefox shows [object Object] on pages with code blocks

Since a couple of months I see only [object Object] instead of code blocks on (almost) all web pages. For example on StackOverflow.

Any ideas what could cause this?

[object Object] sounds like the return value when you haven't called the right property or function on a JavaScript object.

I don't know what is causing on that post -- it looks normal to me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3723649

Could you try temporarily disabling any extensions you've installed during 2023 and see whether that makes any difference?

Any difference when you test in Firefox's Troubleshoot Mode? See: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode (do not "Refresh", just "Open").
