I have a Mac desktop. A couple of days ago, the look of my internet totally changed. The look of websites changed also. For instance, when I do a search there is a box around each and every result. The look of websites I regularly visit has changed also. For instance, Twitter has lines and boxes around posts now. My banking website looks totally different also. When I switch over to the Safari browser, everything looks normal like it used to. So, I assume the problem is with Firefox. Does anyone know what is going on?

This could be a problem with High Contrast Mode on Mac. See "New" in the release notes. Firefox now automatically enables High Contrast Mode when "Increase Contrast" is checked on MacOS in the Accessibility settings.

Make sure you allow pages to choose their own colors.

  • Settings -> General: Fonts & Colors -> Colors: "Override the colors specified by the page with my selections above"

Try "Never" if the default "Only with High Contrast themes" isn't working.

I had the same problem as Daisy and I stumbled across the solution. All u have to do is , go to settings and uncheck the box that says " zoom text only " and poof, the problem on all your pages disappears !  :-)
