(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

In OSX Mojave (10.14.1), open System Preferences > General and select Dark in Appearance. Go to Firefox (I'm using Developer edition, v64.0b14 64-bits), select Dark Theme (or Default in my Developer's Edition case) and select the text in the URL bar.


Actual results:

The text is illegible because the highlight color is bright and the text color is white


Expected results:

The text color should be black or darker. It works ok if you select Firefox's Light theme. If you change OSX's Light or Dark theme it doesn't matter so it's probably Firefox's problem here. Firefox's Light theme works fine by using the OSX highlight color but then making the text color dark (black).

I'm uploading the screenshots, to prove Firefox is using OSX's hightlight color I changed it from pink to green and Firefox detected it.
