If it's a firefox-only bug, it's not a core issue...

Comment 2

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

Do you have the preference I've come to despise, in Web Features, to Load Images
"for the originating web site only" checked? If so, you get white text on a
white background, because someone at Yahoo! thought it would be smart to rely
totally on a background image to make that white text visible.

WFM, site appears the same in Mozilla and Firefox. Ditto comment 2, if you check
the "from originating server only" option then these come up white since all the
images come from http://us.i1.yimg.com
