After upgrading to Firefox 57 Quantum many website have rendering issues, such as empty frames, missing text or fonts, etc. I use Kubuntu 16.04 64 bit. So far, I've tried:

  • Restarting Firefox in safe mode
  • Disabling "hardware acceleration"
  • Wiping out my profile
  • Purging Firefox and reinstalling
  • Running Firefox from a clean user account

But nothing helped so far.

Any tips on how to solve this are much appreciated

Apparently this seems to be caused by a conflict with TexLive installation of fonts.

This thread deals with it and offers the following solution:
In about:config, set

security.sandbox.content.read_path_whitelist

to

/usr/local/texlive/

And restart firefox

This blog post also discusses it and offers the following workaround: Under Menu -> Fonts & Colors -> Advanced... -> Tick off "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above"
