Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

Attachment: Screenshot_2018-11-05 13.40.17_PTYZIN.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open history or bookmarks sidebar. Use the 'show sidebars' button next to the url bar.
Issue appears regardless of theme selected.

Fix attempts:
- Changing themes [and restarting firefox] (no impact)
- Restarting in safe mode (no impact)



Actual results:

The sidebar has black background, and what appears to be a badly rendered black font with a white outline - in effect very hard to read, definitely not as is supposed to be.


Expected results:

Text should be clear and readable. The background should probably be lightly-coloured, to match the theme.

I verified this issue on Macbook 10.13 with the latest Firefox release verion 63.0  and I cannot reproduce it. 
Can you please test this in safe mode? Here is a link that can help you: https://goo.gl/AR5o9d.
I think it will be a good idea to retest this on the latest Firefox Nightly. Here is a link form where you can download it: https://nightly.mozilla.org. 
If you still have the issue please create a new profile, you have the steps here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Managing-profiles#w_starting-the-profile-manager

(In reply to Daniel_A[:daschilean] from comment #1)

Issue persists in safe mode, and in nightly. However, it is fixed by creating a new profile, even after I synced all my data using firefox sync. 

Does that mean I probably messed with some options in about:config? 

Anyway, the bug can probably be closed. Thanks.

Based on Comment2 I will mark this as Resolved-WFM.
If the issue is still reproducible with the latest Firefox version, feel free to reopen the bug.
Maybe some add-ons caused this issue.
