Since the newest auto update, I can't see these characters. Something changed their color.

This can be caused by the theme you use.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

You probably need to use css code. I have done that to change the font colour. If you want to look into that, here are two links: https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html https://www.userchrome.org/find-user-style-recipes.html
