Firefox 55.0.3 Won’t Post To MAC Rumors Forum

[jaeb0922]

just as the title states, looks like a huge bug in FF 55.0.3 as I have tried on my iMac and MacBook Pro. The reply area is white with zero text. Works fine in chrome and safari. I know FF isn’t for all but I’ve used it for over 15 years now and never had an issue, until now.

Any ideas on what could be the cause behind the scenes?

Stinks having to post via my iPhone and iPad all day haha!

UPDATE: Its definitely something in FF55+ as I tested with 54. Works fine. Also, if I click edit (as I did here), the edit text area works perfectly.

Something with the text area and MR isnt loving each other though. Wish I could fix it soon! UGH!

Why not just "go back" to the earlier version of Firefox that works?

my 2010 macbook with 55.0.3 works fine

Im running sierra, 240gb SSD and 8GB ram.

maybe your flash player or something else needs updating?

Well, I usually use Safari, but sometimes there are pesky sites that require me to use Firefox. Anyway, I just opened Firefox 55.0.3 on my cMP 5,1 and am posting here. Seems to work fine I'm on Sierra 10.12.6.

Well damn....

Perhaps it’s a plugin or addin or something. I updated flash. I’m lost.

Sounds logical right? Going back to say 54 makes other things not work. Weighing the good and the bad, 55 is better than 54, so.... no.
[doublepost=1506068653][/doublepost]Can someone higher up here at Mac Rumors tell me the technology that powers this WYSIWYG text area?
[doublepost=1506069459][/doublepost]I figured it out. It was a setting I had changed in about:config. Works perfectly now. Thanks for the feedback yall. Close the thread.

For those in the future who may see this thread, could you post exactly which Firefox setting you changed, and what you changed it back to so it worked?

Thanks.

Absolutely. I’m not at my desk, but it actually was an extension called Night Shift I believe. It makes websites inverst to Black mode in a sense. It didn’t play well with the WYSIWYG text area on here I guess.
