I've tried changing themes, uninstalling & reinstalling firefox, deleting my user profile but nothing seems to work.

Does your OS use a dark theme? Firefox may be picking up something affecting the default background color. Hopefully a volunteer more familiar with Linux has a better thought.

Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.
