1420747 - Unreadable page rendering for continued (jumped) stories

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Graphics, defect, P3)

Description

[RSwaffordBiz]

Attachment: Screenshot-wapo-continued.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171112125346

Steps to reproduce:

On washingtonpost.com, clicked to follow front page story to continuation on subsequent page.


Actual results:

Subsequent page is rendered with black text overlapping white text against a dark grey background, rendering page unreadable.  I have ONLY on Washington post.  This happens on every continued story.  It never happens on nytimes.com, baltimoresun.com, etc.

This does not happen with Chrome or other browsers, but always with Quantum Firefox and other version in the 50s.  Have been seeing it for several weeks.  It happens every time and for every continued story.  I have never seen Firefox problems with any other web site but this one, and I use Firefox on linux a lot.  It does not happen on MS Windows, just Linux.


Expected results:

Should have seen black text on white background, just like the front page, and just like the continued pages with Chrome.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.  I do so love Firefox.  Can be reached at 443-603-7451 or [e-mail].

Could you paste your about:support here and a link to a specific page that exhibits this behavior? I'm having some difficulty reproducing this.

If you're able to, running mozregression may be able to determine what change caused this, if any. [1]
