My text boxes are not visible on web pages where I need to put fill in forms or put in my user name and password. They are there - I just cannot see them. I can right click on where I know they are and my user name and password will autofill, if it's a page I go to alot, but I cannot see them. The picture is an example - you can't see the field where I should type in my password

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

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


One issue that seems more common lately is Firefox's Content Blocking. When it is blocking content in a page, a shield icon will appear at the left end of the address bar next to the padlock icon. This article has more info on managing this feature:

The problem does go away in Safe mode. But comes back in normal mode. I previously did a refresh so all my add ons are gone. And when I click do not block content in this page, the problem comes back. What do I try now. Why is it ok in safe mode and not normal mode. This is a new problem by the way.
