+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1711258 +++

Note
This issue doens't reproduce when "Display contrast" is set to Normal (default)

Affected versions

  • Firefox 89 beta 12
  • latest Nightly 90.0a1 2021-05-14

Affected platforms

  • macOSX 10.15, macOSX 11.4 beta

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Firefox and set the theme to Default or Light
  2. Go to about:Support and other about:pages

Expected result

  • Every element from about: pages is legible and has enough contrast.

Actual result

The left side of about:support table is not visible

Regression range

  • Not a regression, introduced with Proton

Additional notes

  • Also reproducible when system theme is Dark and Firefox and Firefox is set to Light theme

Attachment 9222143 [details] is a screenshot of what happens here.

:phorea noted in bug 1711258 that there's no regression range. As far as I can tell there is one for the about:support issue, which was fine in the April 9th nightly, when bug 1700109 (enabling proton by default) landed on April 8th. I think the about:support case regressed with bug 1705133.
