Text obscured in Firefox URL bar

[benpont]

I just did a fresh install of Lubuntu 14.04 and everything works fine except for this problem (see screen cap):



I've deleted my profile, tried different themes, disabled extensions, started in safe mode, reinstalled firefox, went to google and IRC for help, etc. Nothing is working. Hoping someone can help here. I can't be the only one who has encountered this issue.

Your not. Same issue with Xubuntu.

[benpont]

Um...so any advice/suggestions? Is there another thread where this issue is discussed?

Your not. Same issue with Xubuntu.

What if I downgraded to Lubuntu 12.04? Would it matter?

[mörgæs]

It would be a bad idea, as Lubuntu 12.04 is no longer supported.
I suggest using another browser for some days waiting for a fix to arrive.

So this is a known issue and a bug report has been filed?

I don't know, you tell me:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox

What I meant was that it is a very obvious error. It's likely that a developer is aware of it, at least if it was me I would wait for the next release before taking action.

It's not a firefox bug. The address bar renders perfectly in other distros. The bug is likely with lxde.

I don't know about that. I use Firefox on Lubuntu 14.04 and don't have the problem.
