Windows 10: Address bar in Taskbar has input text the same colour as the background, subsequent to the...

Hi, I'm running Windows 10 + 10th April 2018 Feature Update Version 1809 and the latest quality updates KB4464330,KB4462930,KB890830. I've noticed an annoying peculiarity in the Address bar in the Taskbar. This fist appeared immediateley after the Feature Update. The subsequent KB's have not affected it.

I use the Firefox browser. I also use the Address bar in the Taskbar a lot, so I am annoyed that the strings I type in are the same colour as the Address bar background, making them invisible until I hit <return>when they appear. Assuming I have not made a mistake when typing, the web-site is then displayed. The only way I have found of 'curing' this invisible text, is to <right click> on the Taskbar, click on <Toolbars>and remove the Address bar. Then repeat the process to re-instate it. Then the problem has gone away. However, the next time I sign-in to Windows, the problem has re-appeared, and I have to detete the Address bar and re-install it again.

Any ideas?
