Dark theme can be tested by reversing the foreground and background colors in the HTML.
For reference, here is the correct GDI rendering of this website:

In Firefox ESR 52.4.1 (32-bit), text renders correctly:
https://i.imgur.com/InrXmeI.png https://i.imgur.com/kn3bZra.png
which is the same as the GDI rendering of this website, except for some line spacing issues.
However, in Firefox 70.0b6 (32-bit), the rendering regressed and text no longer renders correctly:

Line spacing is correct, but don't let this distract you from how profoundly unsmooth the rendering is in the light theme version. The dark theme version is nearly identical though.

We have used the upload functionality of buefy where any files can be dragged for upload. This works fine in Chrome. However, I am having troubles in Firefox.
Workflow: In Firefox, when I click on the browse button/DragAndDropSpace, a window pops up titled, "File Upload" If I click a file and click "open" it works fine, but I can't drag any files out of the "file upload" window. However, if I open my file explorer window, I can drag and drop the files in drag and drop space, just fine from the File Explorer window, but when I try to drag from the popup window titled "File Upload", I get a ghost image with a circle and red slash.
Expected behavior Since it is working in Crome browser so it should also work on other browser.
First I had filed the issue with buefy team but as per buefy team, It is a issue of Firefox. Buefy Bug Link : https://github.com/buefy/buefy/issues/1729
I have uploaded the bug video on buefy bug please find the attachment "BuefyUploadBug.zip"

When editing Google Docs the tab crashes after entering some characters. Safe Mode helps, but I cannot fix the issue without using Safe Mode

I am using Windows 10 Pro 1903, Firefox 69.0.3 (64-bit)
When I edit a document in Google Docs after entering some characters the tab crashes. If I stay on the same tab it stops to respond and after a few seconds it works again and all the characters I have entered appear. if i change to another tab and then back to the Google Docs tab then some round "reload" icon is shown, tab reloads and all is back to normal. When I change to about:performance when the Google Doc tab is hanging then it does not show up there anymore. After it is reloaded like 10 seconds later it appears again in about:performance.
When I start Firefox in Safe Mode then everything works fine and I cannot reproduce the issue. I then tried to narrow down the issue by disabling Hardware Acceleration, disabling all the extensions, plugins and making sure default theme is being used. But the issue was still there when I did not use Safe Mode.
I then created a new profile and after that did not help, I uninstalled Firefox, deleted the program files folder manually, reinstalled but the issue is still there. I also deleted all the Firefox System Add-Ons but still no success.
The issue happens with my normal Firefox in Private Mode, too.
How can I troubleshoot this further? What does Safe Mode do in addition to the things I have mentioned above?

Bing opens every time I open up Firefox. I hate Bing and have searched everywhere for a way to get rid of it. I finally found in about:config there is a line which says browser.newtab.url modified string http://www.bing.com etc etc I reckon this might be the culprit, but I daren't alter anything because I don't know what I am doing. I did try "Reset" but it didn't make any difference, Bing reappeared. Any help welcome. Many thanks.

I frequent a website where I have several windows open simultaneously and need to move windows from one monitor to another.
When I do so, these windows Minimize and they do not display on the other monitor. The only way to display them once again is to Maximize them, but then they appear back on my first screen.
I ran across the solution that has me rename two profile files (localstore.rfd and another which I forget at this time). I renamed both of these files in both firefox profiles, but the problem persists.

Is there a way to "control" Firefox Sync? Or separate Firefox Send Tab from it? All I want right now is the ability to share tabs with my other device.

We set up a DUO DAG server and incorporated our Yubikeys with touch auth. In Firefox when I click Use Security Key, it initially pops up with 'Touch Security Key to proceed' but then Windows Hello pops up with 'Enter your PIN'. I have to enter the PIN every time I use it, THEN touch the Yubikey. Chrome doesn't behave this way and others Firefox doesn't behave this way.
Other minor annoyance is that in Chrome when I open a page that requires the DAG 2FA and Security Key is the default device, it immediately pops up with the 'Touch Key' prompt. In Firefox I have to click the "Use Security Key" to get it to pop up.

Hi,
For some reason I can't seem to get spell checker to work on firefox. Have it working on chrome and not sure what the problem is?
Have got the add-on dictionary and have check marked "Check your spelling as you type" in options, but still nothing.
Any ideas what's causing this?
Thanks

Hello ! I'm using Firefox Developer (70.0b13, but happens on normal version too), and the Twitch streams lags when using resolution above 360p. When using the automatic quality, the stream starts at maximum quality. Then keeps dropping until 360p. Then the lag stops, but won't change back to max bandwidth possible quality. If I manually set the quality to 720 or 1080, the lag continues. Of course, I checked the internet and on another browsers (Brave and Edge Chromium). I can watch at 1080p without problems. I only have uBlock as extension installed. And this is happening for some time (more one week).
Any help is appreciated.

Since the most recent Firefox update has anyone else found it is not possible to log into various websites / pages requiring personal credentials (ie username, email, password)? There are at least 3 or 4 sites that I have been able to log into for many years, that no longer allow me to access. I have checked and double checked the Privacy & Security tab in Options and none of the Exceptions or Manage Data entries have changed. When I phone the various companies the common answer is do not use Firefox, rather use Microsoft Edge, which works! Please help restore Firefox functionality so that it works!

Hi guys,
I hope you can help find an explanation of the following: Yesterday my system ran for several hours without my presence. (System was still on and firefox was open with youtube). Today I find in the "downloads" folder a Firefox screenshot file from yesterday evening 10:05 clock. (Accurate to the second, 10:05 pm). At this time I was not on the system and find no explanation how the screenshot was generated by itself?
thanks for your help!

Hi, Needing some help or clarification around an issue/bug with FireFox. I have FireFox running on a Windows 10 Machine and when visiting sites like Microsoft , there is an option to Sign in with Windows Hello or a security key which works like a charm. How ever when going to the same site using macOS and FireFox the option to sign in with a security key is not available as an option. I have checked the version of FireFox on both Windows & Mac and they are both 69.0.3 and I have also re-installed FireFox on macOS.
Is there anything that I am missing that is causing this not to work in macOS?

If I want to attach a file to an email or otherwise select a file I either must scroll to it or use the onscreen "touch" keyboard. They suggested I ask here.
