Why do some radio buttons show in IE but not in Firefox?

On some web sites a radio button or checkbox is available but Firefox does not show any outline or content for it. It can only be found by mousing over the screen and hoping that a text message such as "Click here to submit" shows up. In IE these buttons do show up in the normal way so it seems this is s problem with Firefox and not the particular web site.

I solved this problem by downloading a fresh copy of Firefox 3.6.10, re-installing it and then restoring the default profile previously backed up using MozBackup. Many thanks to those who tried to help me.
