Can't see texts in Textbox, Dropdown and Bookmarks

Once the Firefox upgraded itself to 23.0 texts in Textbox, Dropdown Menus and Bookmarks became unreadable. So I uninstalled Firefox and removed all the temp files and %AppData files and reinstalled Firefox 24 (after a few days). This didn't help me. It's hard to describe but it looks like a couple of windows are stacked over each other just like when you open multiple windows of windows Explorer in XP. NB: I installed plugins only after finding that the problem is not resolved
