Boxes (checkboxes and radiobuttons) became unusable

The default theme for Firefox don't show the boxes around checkboxes and radiobuttons that are not selected. This is a problem as I fail to recognize a form when I see one. Several times already I had to random click around texts on the page to see if that was a form or not.

How do I restore old Firefox behaviour?

Works fine here on Linux.

Did you try another Linux theme and possibly icon set to see if that makes a difference?

Does this also happen in Options/Preferences (about:preferences)?

This also happens on the URL you pasted, but changing the theme worked for me. Thanks for the hint. I wasn't suspecting the problem was the theme because other applications with the same GTK theme were working just fine.
