From another post: "Hi, please try a Refresh but Note that this does more than uninstalling and re-installing does. Normal uninstalling does not remove some preferences which may have become corrupt. Please Refresh but do this 1st: Delete your Cookies and Cache and TEST.

I have the same problem. I have a clean install of v64, and I've tried the solutions suggested above, but still not seeing the text for some add-ons' options. Some, like "trash mail" display OK, but other like "ReloadMatic" just show the checkboxes with no text.

Do you see this on the entire about:preferences page or only if you click the Options/Preferences button next to an extension.

Does this still happen with all extension disabled and only one extension enabled at the time and with the default theme?

Excellent suggestion: disabled the extensions (should have thought of that. Thanks). That worked. The text now shows.

Here's the odd thing though: I enabled the add-ons one by one (restarting Firefox each time) and the text never went away. All's I can figure is that one of the add-ons was installed wrong, and disabling it/enabling it fixed the problem.
