I use Webmail 6.0 and while I can get my e-mails I can not see many of the buttons - they just show as blue box outlines

I am missing all of the buttons in my Webmail version 6.0 I can see the outline of the boxes in blue and if it is simple one, like italic, that I can see when the mouse hovers over it what it is and use it. For more complicated ones like text color, I can't use them. This is all of the buttons on the screen, not just a few. It also appears to happen on some websites. For example, right above this box I can see 2 short vertical lines. If I roll the mouse over them I can see they are italic, insert a link and numbered list. But otherwise nothing is there except a blank space. I am unable to attach a screen shot. I have tried running after disabling all add-ons and most of the other suggestions I could find.
