(the live CD on the website)
The contents of Firefox's URL bar, instead of showing the text of the URL,
shows a black and/or gray bar where the text should be. The text is still
there -- it can be selected and copied -- it just can't be seen. This
happens both when running from the live CD, and after installation.
Everything else (having to do with the display, and otherwise) works fine
and is perfectly normal. The problem doesn't occur when running from the
Xubuntu 14.04 live CD. Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks.

A little more info:
I installed XFCE to see if it happens there as well; it does.
I uninstalled Firefox and installed the Firefox from Ubuntuzilla; it still
happens.
It doesn't happen in Chromium. (Unfortunately, the user wants to use Firefox.)
Any ideas?

Thanks, it did help. I had googled it before without finding a solution,
but found it when trying again.
The solution is very simple: In about:config, set gfx.xrender.enabled to false.
