633116 - the theme text for pages and some elements is off and skewed

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[133794m3r]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b11) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b11) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b11

FF has decided and taken it upon itself to change some select text elements from the 'normal' user defined rules in the gtk theme thus the text becomes unreadable. I have not an idea why it has chosen to deviate from the norm as the norm is perfectly fine for input areas. The text color is a light gray on a dark black/gray background it makes things almost impossible to read.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use a dark theme such as slicknesss http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/SlicknesS?content=71993
2. Open up firefox and look at some of the elements(hover over text in the url bar since that seems to be the new proper way), the default text for the search bars words when not hovered over etc.
3. Look at it, barely able to be seen.
Actual Results:  
It's really hard to read.

Expected Results:  
For it to not deviate from the user defined rules.
