In Gmail, some column headers and formatting buttons on the bottom of e-mail are white/transparent/invisible
I have to toggle between regular and html versions of gmail and it's intolerable. Google doesn't seem to have an answer and I suspect it may be Firefox related. Disabled all add-ons and restarted Firefox and still had issue. Tried private window in firefox, same issue.
I appreciate any information.
Thanks.

That might be because image are blocked.
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer). Check on the Network tab if (image) content is blocked and has a file size 0 (zero).
If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
- Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
- Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
- If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

It was this one that did it (below)! Thank you SOOO much. It was driving me crazy:

Happy Holidays! What a great help.
