Also -- on second glance -- my normal Firefox windows have their chrome in dark mode and themed accordingly, but the Bookmarks Library window chrome is not themed in dark mode at all. A separate bug, perhaps, but worth noting.

Hi,

I haven't been able to reproduce this issue on Mac OS 10.12 using Firefox Nightly 65.0a1 or Firefox 63.0.3

Could you test if the issue is reproducible in safe mode, here is a link that can help you with that:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

If the issue still occurs please try using a new profile, you can find the steps here:

Also, regarding Comment 1 the bookmarks library window doesn't change its appearance with themes.

Thank you for reporting!

I also experienced this issue and found out it was due to the following flag being set to true:

gfx.compositor.glcontext.opaque

Setting the flag back to the default false value renders the library sidebar as well as the history sidebar correctly.

I am able to reproduce this with Firefox 63.0.3 (64-bit) on a Mac OS X 10.13.6 by setting/unsetting the flag.

Hey Peter -- I still get the issue with safe mode, although I'm reluctant to mess with my profiles.

Per comment #4, I can however confirm that setting gfx.compositor.glcontext.opaque to false "fixes" the issue (and the whole Library window turns back to normal/light/readable colors).
