Invisible Text in Android App

When using the mobile app on Android, on almost every website there are large blocks of text which I can't see unless I highlight them. In some cases, only the top or bottom half of a line is visible. Zooming in or out in a page randomly changes which lines are hidden, but there are almost always at least one big missing block in view. I have seen a few other posts mentioning problems like this, but because they were all for desktop apps, none of the recommended solutions are possible for me. Disabling add-ons has not had any effect. I've attached two screenshots of this page right now to show what this looks like.

Hi

Thank you for helping test future updates to Firefox for Android. I recommend that you file this as a bug for our developers to look into. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.

Hello, thank you this response, but I don't think I'm testing future updates. I am currently using version 115.0, which just got released today apparently, but I haven't set the app to install any experimental or in-development updates or anything like that.

Also, this problem has been occurring for over a year, so I don't think any recent or upcoming update is to blame for it.

Ah, okay, no problem.

Have you tried closing some of the tabs that you have open or checking what other apps that you may have running in the background?

The app is set to automatically close tabs tabs after a few hours, and I don't think background tabs actually are kept running, since whenever I switch between two it basically refreshes the page. Closing all tabs manually and clearing the cache didn't improve it either.
