My Firefox doesn't show text on some sites, such as Google:
I use Firefox 29 and Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr).
We happened to provide the solution this way:
Go to browser settings
as in edit
>preferences
>content
>advanced
and uncheck the box that allows other programs to choose the fonts for the page and use the fonts that I choose.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall --purge fontconfig fontconfig-config
It solved the issue for me.
