1806962 - Regression: The new Default Dark Theme is too grey now and looks no longer Mac-like

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Mehmet]

macOS
Nightly 110.0a1 (2022-12-21) (64-Bit)

1.) Use System Dark Mode
2.) Open a new Nightly Window

Actual: The new Default Dark Theme is too grey compared to other MacOS Applications and looks out of place :(

Expected: The previous Default Dark Theme was perfect.

This is a regression from bug 1704347.

The text in the URL is gray, and the URL bar is also gray. This makes for very poor visibility of the text.

I too believe the previous theme was perfect. Consider making a third theme for this mild gray version if you are bent on keeping it. It's not 'dark.'

FYI: The change was reverted recently. The latest Nightly Build is using the "good old/perfect" default dark Theme again :)

Thanks for the info, nightly is supposed to be for testing changes after all, so no worries.
Bug can be closed.

Your reported bug 1808929 has been already closed, because it was a duplicate of this one :). But this bug report needs to stay open, since bug 1704347 is still valid.

Fixed in 110 by backout. Ray do you want to keep it open?
