The search engine text box is super thin. You can click and type in it and it registers but you can not see the text even if you ctrl++++++. I have searched around and seen this issue with IE8 but not firefox. It also happens to various other websites. Basically any text box is affected from login/pw to address/zip etc

Does that only happen with the text boxes?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
