A person on our local community forum is using Firefox with high contrast theme, and is reporting the he the about:preferences page is unreadable to him due to poor color selection. As I understand, he have no problem to see get webpages in his preferred color selections, but it seems that the preferences page is ignoring this. 

I am attaching the screenshot that have provided us. Will update here as I'll get more information.

This is a regression in Firefox 41, I have reverted to Firefox 40.0.3 until fixed.

I run Windows 10 x86 in high contrast mode and have reproduced this on 2 computers
I tried installing "Theme Font & Size Changer" but its background color setting is ignored and hence is not a workaround.

This affects about:config as well as Tools/Options, Tools/Add-ons making version 41 very unpleasant to use by those that require windows in HC mode (alt-shift-printscreen).

This should no longer be an issue. Firefox Options play nice with the High Contrast Windows theme
