Yesterday when I updated my system, I got firefox 57. It does appear to work faster. But, I noticed that the sites I frequent, do not display the text: distrocwatch.com, slashdot.org, gmail, etc. Removed $HOME/.mozilla and checked again. Same problem :-( The screenshots can be seen here: https://imgur.com/lwjhGGu, https://imgur.com/Jcdo1Wg, https://imgur.com/KPyxmFN Anyone else facing a similar problem? If it matters, except uBlock, I do not have any other extensions. Even with the extension removed, the behaviour is the same. Regards, -- Sridhar M. A.

Have you checked font settings in Firefox? You can use this bash command to check what fonts are substituted for default fonts in Firefox: $ for f in [sans sans-serif serif monospace];do fc-match $f;done -- With kindest regards, Alexander. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is even worse, with those square brackets this command doesn't work as intended. "[sans sans-serif serif monospace]" will be interpreted by shell as "[sans", "sans-serif", "serif", "monospace]" producing bogus output without any error messages. -- With kindest regards, Alexander. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀

Same problem :-( Note that in the interface, the text is visible. So, it doesn't seem to be an external font issue. I suggest that you try the "Inspect Element" feature. It can give information about the fonts. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)

Arial is installed on my system. Visited slashdot.org using both waterfox (https://imgur.com/mkvyMCS) and firefox (https://imgur.com/JrhkYE5). The webdev tool shows the text to be on the page. There is some rendering issue which is probably not showing it on the actual web page :-( -- Sridhar M. A.
