Hi Dao, what are your thoughts on this?

Not sure, this sounds like a Core::Graphics: Text issue.
Flags: needinfo?(dao+bmo)
Issue appears to be limited to beta builds;

[Regression range]:
- last good: 57.0b6 
- first bad: 57.0b7
The text in the about:etc. links is affected as well.
Component: Theme → Graphics: Text
Product: Firefox → Core
Can you confirm that this bug does not affect 65?

While not as visible there is still an issue with the other versions(RC, Nightly) as well. RC is curious since it has the similar color scheme as beta.
*RC - 63.0.3, Nightly -65.0a1 (2018-11-21)

For this to be better noticed, I suggest zoom-ing in on the gif.

Happy to take a patch in nightly; if it seems low risk enough please feel free to request uplift to 65 beta.

Nothing in that push log looks interesting. Bug 1493743 is font related, but is just some error handling boilerplate.

Priority: -- → P3
