Problem description: Just bought a fancy new iMac to replace my aged Mac Mini. First app I installed was Firefox, and I noticed right away that things didn't look quite correct. Certain elements of web pages aren't displaying--most images show up, but things like toolbars and structural elements don't show up. Everything looks fine in Safari, so it's not a system-wide issue. I went into Firefox preferences to fool around, and some of the text isn't showing up properly. (Screencaps below.) Gmail login shouldn't look like this:  Broken Amazon:  SA in Firefox:  SA in Safari (working properly):  Firefox Prefs screen. Text is visible when selected but not otherwise:  Attempted fixes: I turned off ad/tracker blocking in Firefox, made sure there were no weird accessibility settings turned on in MacOS. Google suggested I confirm there were no weird font settings in FF, and they're set at default. Of course cleared the FF cache. I deleted FF and reinstalled. The iMac shipped with BIg Sur 11.3 and I upgraded to 11.5.2 but the problem existed on both. Recent changes: None, this is a new computer Operating system: Mac OS Big Sur 11.5.2 System specs: iMac with Apple Processor, 8GB RAM Location:  I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes indeed.

You could try running Firefox in safe mode and see if the issue continues.

Make sure your system time is set correctly, that can cause some pages to not load if it's out of date.

Issue resolved: at Apple's suggestion, I made a new administrator user account and it worked fine there. Since the computer's new, I didn't really have anything saved in the other account, so nothing was lost. Beats the hell out of me--maybe something hiccuped when it was making the first home folder?

Just curious, did you try creating a new Firefox profile?
