Text which is linked does not appear on the screen. Since updating Firefox, I have noticed this in both the page given above, as well as at JSTOR (www.jstor.org), where linked text does not display; specifically, journal and article titles do not appear after a search. The problem is only seen in some links; most of the links are fine, while others are invisible. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to website
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Shown the linked text

Comment 1

[Hermann Schwab]

Steps to reproduce are incomplete, going to the website I'm missing nothing.
Could you please tell what I should see missing?

Please give an example, including the string entered into "Search For:", the option selected in "As:", the option selected in "Quick Limit: (optional)"

What are you referring to as "linked text"? Images from 3rd party servers?

Attachment: reduced testcase made according to reporter's mail

mail from the reporter:
when I go to Craigslist.org, the leftmost column of words above the yellow "Search Craigslist" box does not display the words, although when i run the cursor over them, highlighted underlines appear.

The same happens when I got to CLIO http://clio.cul.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=First
where the main search box has four tabs on top of it. When I run my cursor over the tabs, highlighted underlining appears, but the words do not. 

testcase wfm, as I'm on windows, not on Mac.

Anna, do you see the bug on this testcase?

Comment 3

[Anna]

The test case returned the same result as already described: the text did not appear, although underlining did. 

Comment 4

[Jake Olefsky]

The text links showed correctly for me in 2.0 PPC.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!
