Bug 1508023 reported the issue with the bundled dark theme.

This doesn't seem to be related to whether the user is using the dark or light theme. This occurs for me even when firefox is configured to start with the light theme. As far as I can tell it's unrelated to themes. Even when gfx.compositor.glcontext.opaque=false, the History window doesn't seem to respect whatever theme is set.

The gfx.compositor.glcontext.opaque pref appears to be gone, so I'm going to close this out.
