Newest firefox for me does not show any radios/checkboxes. Here is a very simple test.

Code:
1 <input type="radio"> 2 <input type="checkbox"> 3


For me it looks like this http://imgur.com/a/4IqLG

Code:
$ equery u firefox
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
[ Colors : set, unset                             ]
 * Found these USE flags for www-client/firefox-54.0:
 U I
 - - bindist              : Disable official Firefox branding (icons, name) which are not
                            binary-redistributable according to upstream.
 + + custom-cflags        : Build with user-specified CFLAGS (unsupported)
 + + custom-optimization  : Build with user-specified compiler optimizations (-Os, -O0, -O1, -O2,
                            -O3) from CFLAGS (unsupported)
 + + dbus                 : Enable dbus support for anything that needs it (gpsd, gnomemeeting,
                            etc)
 - - debug                : Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you
                            want to get meaningful backtraces see
                            https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
 + + gmp-autoupdate       : Allow Gecko Media Plugins (binary blobs) to be automatically downloaded
                            and kept up-to-date in user profiles
 - - hardened             : Activate default security enhancements for toolchain (gcc, glibc,
                            binutils)
 + + hwaccel              : Force-enable hardware-accelerated rendering (Mozilla bug 594876)
 - - jack                 : Add support for the JACK Audio Connection Kit
 + + jemalloc             : Enable or disable jemalloc
 + - jit                  : Enable just-in-time compilation for improved performance. May prevent
                            use of some PaX memory protection features in Gentoo Hardened.
 - - kde                  : Add support for KDE (K Desktop Environment)
 - - l10n_ru              : Russian
 - - nsplugin             : Enable support for NPAPI plugins other than flash
 - - pgo                  : Add support for profile-guided optimization using gcc-4.5, for faster
                            binaries. This option will double the compile time.
 + + pulseaudio           : Add support for PulseAudio sound server
 + + startup-notification : Enable application startup event feedback mechanism
 + + system-harfbuzz      : Use the system-wide media-libs/harfbuzz and media-gfx/graphite2 instead
                            of bundled.
 + + system-icu           : Use the system-wide dev-libs/icu instead of bundled.
 + + system-jpeg          : Use the system-wide media-libs/libjpeg-turbo instead of bundled.
 + + system-libevent      : Use the system-wide dev-libs/libevent instead of bundled.
 + + system-libvpx        : Use the system-wide media-libs/libvpx instead of bundled.
 + + system-sqlite        : Use the system-wide dev-db/sqlite installation with secure-delete
                            enabled
 - - test                 : Workaround to pull in packages needed to run with FEATURES=test.
                            Portage-2.1.2 handles this internally, so don't set it in
                            make.conf/package.use anymore


I did find this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1373573 so it looks like a linux+gtk issue although I did not experience this until v54 and this is v52. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi,

Can you try to change your GTK+ theme? Some of them are not complete and the checkboxes are not shown.

Tried a couple different gtk themes, no change. I'll have to dig deeper into this.

The GTK3 themes do affect things like renderings of checkboxes in about:preferences, but html form widgets on regular webpages seem to just be a border collapsed around nothing. A tiny capture of what a radio button looks like on my browser: http://imgur.com/a/sp04R

Everyone probably has their own little html radio button/checkbox test page, but in case not, I use: https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_form_radio

Well, I restarted with addons disabled and it the problem wasn't there anymore, so now it's just an isolation exercise.....

I noticed that Firefox 54 has this change:
Quote:
<input> elements of types checkbox and radio with -moz-appearance: none; set on them are now non-replaced elements, for compatibility with other browsers (bug 605985 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605985).

I had a custom userContent.css that I had been using from http://www.jitblog.net/firefox-does-not-display-checkboxes-and-radio-buttons/

To solve the problem, in the section for
Code:
input[type="radio"]
I commented out
Code:
-moz-appearance: none !important;

The userContent.css was also the issue for me but it's wasn't a complete solution to my problem as the GTK dark themes were running havoc again. However I found this extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/text-contrast-for-dark-themes/ which is a much better solution. Other solutions can also be found here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox#Unreadable_input_fields_with_dark_GTK.2B_themes

DhruvSingh7278: if you read up thread, you will see that -moz-appearance:none is the problem, not the solution. Indeed, your instructions appear to be copied from the blog which gave Dekan the styles that ultimately conflicted with this Firefox change. Advocating use of the change he just told us broke it seems rather counterproductive.

Several users have raised concerns that you are not a new user, but rather a lurking profile spammer. If you are legitimately trying to help, please be more careful.

Saundersx,

You need to build firefox with -O2 to fix the rendering issues.
The default is -Os, forced by the build system.

If your CFLAGS already contains -O2, then
Code:
USE=custom-optimization emerge firefox
will tell firefox to use it.
You may also need CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -mno-avx" See www-client/firefox-53.0 failed startup cache generation
