In text areas selected text has a white background when it should be light grey. In regular content selected text has a dark grey background when it should be light grey.

Hmm, ok, the second issue is actually not covered by bug 141007.

So we're not using a system color here, instead we're using the same (hardcoded) color for all platforms: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/5e76768327660437bf3486554ad318e4b70276e1/widget/nsXPLookAndFeel.cpp#775

Looking at webkit, it seems they're using the NSColor secondarySelectedControlColor which is lighter:

Not sure if it's better to move everything to each platform-specific nsLookAndFeel file instead of the #ifndef... This is a bit more economical, though.
