User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0
Steps to reproduce:
Upgrade to 72
Actual results:
Scrollbars changed color irrespective of theme or OS level settings, without sense.
Expected results:
Scrollbars should match location-bar and tabs-bar unless user intervenes to customize FF by actively reconfiguring FF.
NOTE: My site (http://www.swordofmoonlight.net) doesn't match the automatically selected color, and it has a forum put in an overlaid iframe that uses a different colored scrollbar so that it appears the scrollbar changes color even though the background remains unchanged. From an architectural perspective this option (widget.disable-dark-scrollbar) is a bonehead move and irritant for websites.
Websites are perfectly able to theme their scrollbars and it makes no sense for a scrollbar to not match the user-chrome unless a website really wants that in which case it should provide its own session setting so not to irritate users.

This is a DEFECT and not enhancement, therefore it's not a duplicate strictly speaking unless the the other is changed to defect and given a high priority.

A defect is an instance of unexpected behavior.
An enhancement is a request to change intended behavior.
Dark scrollbars for dark backgrounds is a feature introduced in bug 1578377.
It's not an enhancement if an "enhancement" broke something functional. That means something that worked last week is broken, hence a defect.
