Anyone else facing a similar problem?


57 has new built in themes, it's not something stupid as white text on a white 
background is it?


If it matters, except uBlock, I do not have any other extensions. Even
with the extension removed, the behaviour is the same.

Checked the font issue. It shows body to have Arial font, and
sans-serif as fall back. Arial is installed on my system.

Visited slashdot.org using both waterfox (https://imgur.com/mkvyMCS)
and firefox (https://imgur.com/JrhkYE5).
The webdev tool shows the text to be on the page. There is some
rendering issue which is probably not showing it on the actual web
page :-(

Note that in the interface, the text is visible. So, it doesn't
seem to be an external font issue. I suggest that you try the
"Inspect Element" feature. It can give information about the
fonts.

I would click Customize and then click Restore Defaults, also make sure 
your addons are up to date.

Indeed, my mistake. Looks like sleep deprivation finally caught up with me.
This is even worse, with those square brackets this command doesn't work
as intended.
"[sans sans-serif serif monospace]" will be interpreted by shell as
"[sans", "sans-serif", "serif", "monospace]" producing bogus output
without any error messages.

Just for the record, you do not want those square brackets.  Not in
bash or any other Bourne-family shell, at least.

I started with a clean $HOME/.mozilla so that system-wide defaults
would be used. Problem exists.

Checked the font list and set fonts specifically. Same problem.

It shows Dejavu fonts which are available in my system.

I'm not experiencing this problem, but I use custom font-manager config
to set some fonts as a system-wide default.

Have you checked font settings in Firefox?
You can use this bash command to check what fonts are substituted for
default fonts in Firefox:
    $ for f in [sans sans-serif serif monospace];do fc-match $f;done
