Bug Description

Firefox updated to 54 today, checkboxes are not showing on my private helpdesk application (old version of Kayako) but I have also just noticed on Reddit, specifically the subreddit search box. I also note there are no buttons showing on Gandi.net's login page which is probably related - this occurred in 52 but not 53.

Seems to be widespread - assume it's a CSS rendering issue or something but can't see a common element in any pages.

Have now found that this is the Stylish plugin. Disabling it has made checkboxes appear again, although possibly unstyled. Feedback sent to Stylish devs.

This is an unsupported release now. Please think to install the next LTS 'Bionic 18.04'

Marking as Invalid because the release is EOL is not correct. Marking as Incomplete. Also, 18.04 is (at the time of writing) still in development, and you should expect some breakage.

Reporter, is this still present on 17.10?

Agreed that suggesting 18.04 is invalid as of today (02/03/18) as it isn't released yet. Nor is it an actual issue with Ubuntu, but with Firefox and Stylish.

However, it doesn't seem to occur with 58 and Stylish 3 so it's hopefully been left behind.
