I fairly recently started to notice that in Firefox my LinkedIn results show up as white text on a white background. I have tried to play with settings to no avail. I like Firefox and hate to have to use another browser just to use LinkedIn. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I've attached a screenshot image of a LinkedIn page showing text that's is only readable when its highlighted.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem,

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

While you are in Troubleshoot(Safe) mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
