Interesting, I had no idea we had this feature.
http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/20d16dadd336e0c6b97e3e19dc4ff907744b5734/dom/base/nsContentSink.cpp#342,349

It looks like Chrome and Safari doesn't support it.  I can't detect any rendering
difference on form controls anyway.  (I haven't checked Edge.)

I tend to think we should simply remove it.

I don't see that it does anything in Edge either.
Depends on: 966240
Per comment #2 & #3, track 54- and mark 54 won't fix.

As this testcase shows, radio buttons are also invisible with MSThemeCompatible = no.

Verified with the latest Nightly, 56.0a1 (2017-06-17) (64-bit) using the testcase above.

Given that we dropped MSTHEMECOMPATIBLE in Bug 966240, I can't think we really need to mention this in the docs?

Chris, since this was a rather obscure feature, I think we can simply
remove all mentions of it on MDN (if there are any).

    
    

    
  
[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: Looks like we've got a duplicate report about http://magicmail.linuxmagic.com/ which is used by various ISPs. We should probably fix the issue with the upcoming 54.0.1 release.

We've already go to build for 54 dot release. It's too late. Mark 54 won't fix.

Do you have a target date when it should get fixed in firefox 58?

I have this annoying issue in my current version "Version 58.0.1 (64-bit)". Is there any workaround I can apply meanwhile?

I have dark theme and light theme installed but disabled. Only "default theme" is active; and I cannot see the checkboxes in the websites I browse!
