When I launch firefox all of the programs text is not showing up. This includes the menus, website history, tabs, etc. Websites still display correctly, however none of the text within firefox is displayed, it is all blank.

hello davidcb13, please close all firefox windows & try launching firefox in safe mode by pressing the shift-key while/after you start the program. in case you can open firefox this way, continue in safemode & either try to remove any extensions or themes that might cause the issue in firefox > addons. in case this doesn't work you can alos try disabling hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general.

Thank you very much! Turning off hardware acceleration did the trick. Would have never known/thought about that option.
