Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

Attachment: how it's displayed in 3-browsers

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.106 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I'm running:
- Linux mint 19 Cinnamon
- Dark theme: Mint-Y-Yltra-Dark
- Firefox 61.0.1 (64-bit)

When I open the page:

https://css-tricks.com/abeamer-a-frame-by-frame-animation-framework/


Actual results:

The background is white, and color is white as well.
This also happens to many other webpages.


Expected results:

Every other web browser (chrome, opera, edge, etc...) it displays the page correctly.

The webpage default color should be black regardless of the OS theme.

And the default background color should be white.

I'm attaching how it looks like in firefox, chrome and opera.

As I mentioned previously this occurs in many webpages, I can send more examples.

Works for me.

The default text color is already black, and the default background color is already white. For accessibility reasons, this changes when using an OS high contrast theme, but you can disable that feature under about:preferences → Colors… → Override the colors: Never.

The issue here might be a case of the downloadable font being applied, but not rendered. Please check the following:
1. Press Ctrl+A to select everything on the page. Can you see the text then?
2. Start Firefox in a brand new profile [1]. Can you still reproduce the problem?
3. Start the latest Nightly [2] in a brand new profile. Can you still reproduce the problem?

I'm using Firefox default theme and I have no extensions since I reinstall it recently without extensions. 
The text shows when it's selected, so it's not font fallback. The Colors override Never didn't work not even after reboot.

But when I created a new profile, it worked. 
This is an old issue on my firefox, even in previous version of firefox, perhaps last year some version or extension triggered this problem and I stopped trying to find a solution after many attempts on trying to trace the source of the problem. 

If with a new profile I can make it work, it's good enough for me.
I can close this issue.
