User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0
Build ID: 20150525141253

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enable a high-contrast theme in Windows. To do so, do the following:
1.1. Go to the desktop.
1.2. Right-click on it and from the pop-up menu choose "Personalize".
1.3. From the list of themes, choose "High-Contrast Black", by single left-clicking on it.
2. Launch ThunderbirdI'm running the latest stable version - 38.0.1 on a Windows 8.1 64-bit machine.
3. Invoke a dialog box with some buttons in it. The one for Thunderbird's options will do just fine. I'm attaching a screenshot of it.
4. With the TAB key, move the system focus to each of the buttons.


Actual results:

The focused button gets highlighted, as it should. The text in it however in such a case remains white, making it very hard to see.


Expected results:

The text in the focused highlighted button should become black, as it is defined in the currently used Windows theme.

This is a core issue and the bug opened for Firefox is enough.
