Sailfish Browser - Almost impossible to navigate(1.1.9.28)

Fire up Sailfish Browser and look for the toolbar!, it's like playing 'Where's Wally!", the entire browser background is white at first, then the page starts loading, by showing a pale coloured loading bar sweeping from left to right and then pop!, the toolbar is invisible once again, especially if the webpage you're viewing has a white background.

It's not just the visibility of the toolbar, the whole UI of the browser has become a real muddle and hard to use.

Some screenshots from different webpages I use regularly;

New Tab - barely readable (The First One ambience loaded)

Opening a New Tab; What's happened here?, what a mess, any text/toolbar on the screen (and there is text) is virtually invisible.

Problem solved, for me at least. See my answer further down the page - thanks for the input guys, especially @tworaz for prompting me to check the output of starting sailfish-browser in terminal.
