I have the default theme on Firefox 66.0.2 for Linux Mint. I have noticed that most pages don't show up as they should or as, for example, they show in Chromium.

Is this something widespread, and how can I fix it?

In the first screenshot, technically Firefox is doing nothing wrong. It's rendering textboxes and textareas like they would be rendered natively in the OS (it delegates to the OS look-and-feel when the element has not been excessively styled with CSS). If the website owner wanted to ensure those fields had black text on a white background, they could write that in their stylesheets.

The second screenshot is obviously more of a concern. Given my experience from many years back, I am guessing that this is a combination of two things:

  • The website doesn't specify a background colour as the developer has assumed it will always be rendered white by default (naughty, naughty!)
  • Firefox has been configured to use a default page background color of dark gray.

You can try to fix this by searching for 'colors' in your Options page. Open up the Colors window and adjust as necessary.

Options: Colors

For the third screenshot, all I see that's broken is the search button, which is showing an s for 'Search' instead of a magnifying glass icon. It could be down to failing to load the required icon-font that turns 'S' into the magnifying glass, or the font isn't compatible with Mint for some reason.
