Why has my toolbar text suddenly become yellow? And on tabs too? Updating Firefox did not help. Hacked?

I just noticed that suddenly all my text on the tabs, toolbars is all yellow. WTF? Is this some sort of hack or something? Even the icons are yellow.

I have tried to load a screenshot but it is not working.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
