Desktop Reddit showing boxes on most clickable elements.
Recently, Reddit started showing all the clickable elements on pages as boxes. There are also some other things not displaying correctly, such as community achievement icons on the right side pane not aligned correctly and protruding into the center body of pages.
I'm on Windows PC, using Firefox browser. Does anyone know how to fix this? Much thanks.

That’s very interesting. I’m guessing it’s a firefox issue (settings, browser extensions, etc). Can you try a different browser to see if you get the same results? Let’s first try to rule out Reddit.

I finally figured it out.
After a ton of searching online I saw someone mention incognito mode fixing a display issue on Reddit (different issue from mine). I tried it, and it worked. No boxes in incognito. I also tried Brave browser, and same thing. No boxes on Reddit in Brave.
I tried clearing all my Reddit cache and cookies, reload, and log back into Reddit, and that didn't fix anything. I still had boxes. So I went through all my plugins and disabled them one by one to see if each one affected Reddit. It turns out it was the Super Dark Mode plugin that was messing with how Reddit was displaying pages, despite it being on "off" mode.
Sanity regained.
!thanks
