I'm running a fully patched version of CentOS 7.4.1708 (as of 12/27/2017) on VirtualBox 5.2.4 and my window manager is XFCE 4.12. I just installed Firefox 57.0.1 and there's a lot of GUI pieces missing: 

 - The scrollbar thumb pad is missing on all scrollbars.  I can scroll but I can't grab the thumb pad to move the page around because it's not visible.
 - Nothing highlights on any menu.  I can't tell what the current selection is.  This includes if the menu bar at the top (when I enable it) and the right-click menu to enable the menu bar at the top.  Note that highlights work on the 3-bar menu on the top right.
 - When highlighting text on any web page (or in the URL bar), the highlighting isn't visible.

I created a new profile with no extensions and no tabs and the problem persists. It even exists in the Profile Manager window.

All of the GUI in the version of Firefox (v52.5) that comes with CentOS 7.4.1708 works just fine. I also haven't seen issues with any other application.

If I remember correctly, this was also a problem with VirtualBox 5.1.30 with Firefox 57 which is why I waited to upgrade.

I'm guessing this is an incompatibility with XFCE and Firefox 57 or maybe I'm missing some XFCE or Gnome 3 or Firefox setting maybe? Let me know what other information I could provide. Any suggestions would be awesome.

Thanks!

P.S. I just tested Google Chrome 63 and apparently it, too, has similar issues. The scrollbar works but menu highlighting does not.

It seems changing my theme in XFce enabled the menu highlighting and scrollbars to work correctly again. I'll wait to see if CentOS includes 4.14 at some point but for now, the alternate theme seems to be doing the trick.

This sounds like you are using a GTK2 theme on the OS and not a GTK3 theme. XFce generally use GTK2 themes as it will not be until 4.14 that it will be GTK3 based.

The official Firefox builds from www.mozilla.org/firefox/all since Firefox 46.0 and later have required GTK 3.4 (three.four) at minimum to run and as a result needs a GTK3 theme to theme it. Otherwise it can look unthemed and the scrollbar arrows missing. Some themes can do both GTK2 and GTK3 apps.

Some Linux distros up to some versions of Firefox may still build Firefox so it can still be themed by GTK2 themes.
