Description

[Kostadin Kolev]

Attachment: Incorrect colors set for the status bar

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Build ID: 20150812163655

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select and activate the High-Contrast Black theme in Windows.
2. Open Firefox.
3. Go into its settings -> Content -> Colors and make sure that the option to ignore page colors is set to "Only with high-contrast themes".
4. Go to a web page (e.g. www.google.com).
5. Move the mouse cursor over a link on the page. The status bar will appear on the bottom with the text of the URL address of the link.


Actual results:

The background color of the status bar is white and the text inside it is with a black color (see the attached screenshot).


Expected results:

The background color of the status bar should be black and the text inside it should be with a white color, in accordance with the currently used High-Contrast Black theme in Windows.

Hi Kostadin,

I've managed to reproduce this on the latest release(42.0) and latest Nightly(45.0a1).

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0

Considering this, I will mark this bug as New and assign the appropriate component.

Thanks,
Paul.
