Some search fields work, such as Google. Many others dont. The text is there but I cant see it.

Note that the OP is using a Firefox version from the Ubuntu repositories and can only update via Ubuntu software update.

Are you using a dark theme or have modified the default text color and background color (black text on white background)?

Some websites assume this default and only change one of them.

Didnt work. Youtube is a major one but many other websites will not show text. Many others are fine.
