I'd vote to promote this bug into normal, if not major.

My settings for quoted messages is white, same as the background, so I actually
cannot see quotes, which is rather awkward. I am not sure what color is the
default one after fresh installation, but if it happens to be white, we could
have a lot of dissatisfied mail users.

Ok, I checked it out and the default color is white. Which means quoted text is
white on white. Which in turn means how the heck can mailer be of any use to new
users?

The default is "no color", which (at least previously did) means the
(foreground) color of the surrounding text:

pref("mail.citation_color",                 ""); // quoted color
