Also have the same problem.
According to DevTools button text gets its color from **ButtonText** in view-source:resource://gre-resources/forms.css. After Firefox v53 update yesterday it is now white.

bug 1354526 is probably related.

Let us know if you find a workaround. Kind support forumites made me go thru 1000 jumps and hoops without success.

Affected PC here nicd FF/52 got 2 NVIDIA 760GTX, AMD FX8350 CPU, running Win8.1

As a temporary workaround it is possible to use custom user styles:

1 In your Firefox profile folder (Help->Troubleshooting Information->Profile Directory->Open Directory)
2 Create chrome folder
3 Inside create userContent.css
4 In it paste something along these lines:

button,
input[type="reset"],
input[type="button"],
input[type="submit"] {
  color: black;
}

button:active:hover,
input[type="reset"]:active:hover,
input[type="button"]:active:hover,
input[type="submit"]:active:hover {
  color: black;
}

button:-moz-focusring::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="color"]:-moz-system-metric(color-picker-available):-moz-focusring::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="reset"]:-moz-focusring::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="button"]:-moz-focusring::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="submit"]:-moz-focusring::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="file"] > button[type="button"]:-moz-focusring::-moz-focus-inner {
  border-color: black;
}



This will at least make on-page button text black.

I've tried this - sadly there are still quite a lot of missing parts.
So we really do not want to use this in our production environment.. 

Is there a fix comming anytime soon? It's quite annoying not beeing able to update because of this bug.

Let's track this is bug 1365556, assuming it is the same issue.  There is a little more info there about the themes and GTK versions affected.  We can reopen this if it turns out to be a different problem.
