I can't be the only one thinking this kind of faded look for the console looks aweful. Am I? Was this changed on purpose?

I actually have been using Developer Edition much more lately because of it...

Console in DevEdition for comparison.

This is related to Bug 1273130 (and Bug 1271054).  The current plan is to wait a little bit to collect feedback and address any color changes in Bug 1273130

You're not the only one. I replied to Bug 1273130 with some possible solutions.

One thing though, you mention using Developer Edition because of the faded color scheme. I'm using dev edition and seeing a the faded colors, but not in normal Firefox 47.0. Any idea what's up?

The changes that caused this came from 1270990, which was merged to Firefox 49, currently in DevEdition. So release(47) and beta(48) are unaffected. I've updated the bug's tags accordingly.
