STR (tested on Win7, Nightly 42.0a1 (2015-07-29), fresh profile):
1. Set white devtools theme.
2. Open page data:text/html,<body><script>var str='<div>';for(i=0;i<70;i++) str='<span>'+str;document.body.innerHTML=str;</script>
(or attached page)
3. Open devtools->Inspector (Ctrl+Shift+I)
4. Hide sidebar
5. Type "div" (without quotes) in field "Search with CSS selector"

RESULT:
Breadcrumbs were scrolled to the <div> label, but all visible <span> labels are white instead of black. (video in URL field)

EXPECTATIONS:
<span> labels should be black

NOTE:
There are also more STRs like this; some of them don't result in all visible labels having white color but rather 1-2 labels having white color instead of black

Thank you for the video and STR.

I can't reproduce this on OS X or in a 32-bit Windows 7 VM.

Can you please verify that you still see this on your end?

Спасибо большое!

Yes, it's still reproducible. After text labels become white, then in ~5 seconds they become black again
I figured out 3 things:
A) I can trigger similar issue in ESR 38, but rectangles with text lagels become dark (not black)
B) If I stop JavaScript in Debugger (in Browser Toolbox) after text labels become white, and then wait ~5 seconds, they still become black. That means that it's not JS that caused this issue
C) If I disable hardware acceleration then I don't see this issue.

So, I have a question:
Are graphical issues of this kind never fixed? (because "user must update graphics drivers")
Summary: Inspector breadcrumbs labels are white instead of black (always reproducible) → [HWA] Inspector breadcrumbs labels are white instead of black (always reproducible)
Thank you for the updated STRs / video.

I'm still on the road, and it's super hard to reproduce this in a VM, even with hardware acceleration turned on.

I'll have access to a real Windows box in a week, and should be able to further dig in then.

Not never, but glitches like that do tend to take longer to fix. :(

Here's my about:support page. Request additional info if needed.
I may be unavailable for very long time though. In this case, this bug should be closed.

I can reproduce this bug as follows.

1) Open any pages (e.g. bugzilla.mozilla.org)
2) Select any elements in such a way as to [>]button(.scrollbutton-down) is displayed. (e.g. Narrow window width, Having a lot of child elements)
3) If .scrollbutton-down was changed disabled in the selection timing, breadcrumbs label font color turns white for 5 seconds.

Is this behavior designed? If so, it's a strange design specification.
magicp, yes I knew about these steps but decided that they are unreliable...
(1) It should be "fixed" for you if you uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available" on page about:preferences#advanced -> "General" tab
(2) Please open menu (≡)->(?)->"Trougleshooting information", save that whole page (or at least "Graphics" section) and upload here. That would be helpful

Yes, it is.

Is this issue caused by OMTC (OffMainThreadCompositing)?
Could you try as follows

[about:preferences#advanced]
"Use hardware acceleration when available" = true
[about:config]
layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled = false

Probably, Window 7 VM and Mac OSX blocks(not use) OMTC
@magicp:
Yes, you are right! With HWA on and OMTC off this does not happen! (is OMTC a part of HWA?)
// I actually tried disabling OMTC without browser restart (before reporting this), because OMTC haven't required it some month ago. And haven't got positive results. So restart is *necessary*
> Probably, Window 7 VM and Mac OSX blocks(not use) OMTC
This is very true. Markus Stange said in bug 1202714 that he can't repro it on Mac OS.
