Since update version 59.0.1 (64 bit), display of webpages acting strange. When I go to certain webpages, only a few things display and other text is the background color. If I drag mouse over it, then often it will display. Happens on first or other tabs. When I go to safe mode, not a problem. Turned off all add-ons & extensions, restarted, and still had problem but not in safemode. Attaching an screenshot of a partial displayed window.

Very frustrating

Chosen solution

There is an issue reported that affects users who have turned off ClearType font rendering within the Windows settings. A workaround until this is fixed is either to turn ClearType back on or disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Close and restart Firefox after modifying the setting to make the change effective.
