What the heck happened with my Firefox?

I'm posting this from Chromium. I have no idea what happened with my Firefox. Please help.

FreeBSD 11.4-p2, MATE

What font is this?

What font is this?

How could I know? The problem is not about fonts. Firefox failed to load any web pages and only showed these encoded contents that I don't understand. The first image is of youtube, the second is of google.

First try this solution:

Whole websites showing as weird characters | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support

support.mozilla.org

If that doesn't fix things, it's possible that one or more of the add-ons you have installed is causing this.
firefox --safe-mode will start a new Firefox instance with all add-ons disabled.

If that doesn't fix things, your Firefox profile may have been corrupted somehow.
You can create a new one using firefox --ProfileManager

Character encoding. Switch Text Encoding to Unicode
option menu | more | text encoding -> unicode

That's what the fire in Firefox means... Maybe it's an ACII art completely gone wrong?

It's already unicode.

The chosen solution on that page not applicable for me. You could see on my attachment. Everything seems completely normal.

BTW, I even removed the entire .mozilla and .cache/mozilla but the problem still persists.

The problem was mysteriously gone after a fresh reinstall. Note: this time I use XFCE4 as the desktop environment, not MATE.
