Text in flash widgets is illegible and colorful when it shouldn't be, but only in Firefox, not Chrome.

I'm not sure if a Flash update or a Firefox update first brought this about, but for some reason all the text is showing up oddly in flash player widgets. I've only experienced it with Grooveshark music player widgets and when working with potions on Pottermore, but the issue is not apparent in Chrome.

Are you zooming the pages or use an extension like NoSquint to change page colors?

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
