Hello,

Could it be caused by an addon or extension? Could you try safe mode?

Does Firefox become unresponsive before you shut down the process?

Website look can also be controlled from Preferences.

firefox is still responsive, there is also content on the pages as i can select-all and copy-paste to another app. i only have lastpast and a simple addon to load a home page on new tab as far as addons. nothing else. from a programming standpoint, it looks like the background and foreground ink/pen colors are being set to black, that is the effect.

thank you, i think it's the same issue as in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1163440 which we are currently looking into. it seems to mostly affect nvidia graphics cards now. the issue is that after a reset of the graphics driver firefox can't seem to recover properly. as a workaround ath the moment you could disable hardware acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).
