Type Command-D to bookmark then click the triangle to the right of the row labelled Folder.  An outline appears which is unreadable because the background is black.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type Command-D to bookmark
2. click the triangle to the right of the row labelled Folder
Actual Results:  
The resulting bookmark outline is unreadable because the background is black.

Expected Results:  
The resulting bookmark outline is should have text in a different color from the background.

This problem doesn't occur on Firefox for Windows.

I have chosen a severity of Major because bookmarking, a major feature, is broken.

Can you post a screenshot demonstrating this issue.

Also test to see if it goes away in safe mode: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

Re safe mode - the problem is lessened in safe mode because the text is white on black background and so readable.

That is how it is meant to be which means you probably have an extension or chome hack breaking this. Try disabling extensions and renaming any chrome/userChrome.css file from your profile folder: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles

Thanks Dave.  

It was a plugin called Live HTTP Headers version 0.14.

All the best,

Steve

Caused by a third-party extension so not a Firefox bug - invalid
