Choosing the same color for text and background leads to unusable options/config editor dialogs/tabs - color selection can't be reverted

Details
Steps to reproduce:
In Options > General > Colors choose black color for both Text and Background.
Activate the additional option "Always".
Close options dialog and reopen it.
This combination leads to unusable options and config editor dialogs because of no contrast and invisible UI elements. There is nearly no chance to revert this fateful color/options combination.
Users have to create a new profile or to edit the prefs.js file, if possible. Therefore I would classify this problem as a serious bug.
Safe mode doesn't help.

The tabs with information on troubleshooting, add-on manager, Account manager etc. is also affected.
These prefs have to be removed out of prefs.js, to get the content tabs with default backgrounds and button colors again:
user_pref("browser.display.background_color", "#000000");
user_pref("browser.display.document_color_use", 2);
user_pref("browser.display.foreground_color", "#000000");
