User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:133.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/133.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Set Win 10 to dark theme.
  2. Launch Firefox.
  3. Navigate to address / search bar or hamburger menu.

Actual results:

Text is now black on dark gray background, which is unreadable.

Expected results:

Text is white (or light gray) on dark gray / black background, which is readable.

Also present in Private Mode. Restarting Firefox does not resolve issue.

Changing Win10 back to Light Theme (and restarting Firefox) also does not resolve issue.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Address Bar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

May be a bug in the DarkReader Extension or the interaction between DarkReader and a recent Firefox update per this report: https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader/issues/13617

Component: Address Bar → Theme

Hello, thank you for the bug report!
I installed Dark Reader add-on and had Dark Theme enabled but I could not reproduce your issue. Would you be so kind as to answer a few questions so we can investigate this further?

Thank you.

Hi Ardelean,

Thanks for your help.

  • Are you using High Contrast Mode along with Dark Theme/Dark Reader add-on? Are there any other configurations I need to set in order to reproduce this issue?

No High Contrast Mode. The Dark Reader settings that repro this issue on some PCs (e.g., for me on Win10 but not on Win11, although others in the linked Reddit report thread above do report it on Win11) within More, All settings from the Dark Reader menu are:

  • Enable by default = yes (checked)
  • Detect dark theme = no (unchecked)
  • Change browser theme = yes (checked)

Also, this only repros for me currently on Firefox 133.0.3 retail on Windows.

I will try to test this later at home.

I went to about:profiles and changed from the Default to Default-Release profile and restarted Firefox. The issue still repros.

No. The issue appears dependent on Firefox 133.0.3 + Dark Reader + Change browser theme and there are no Extensions in Safe Mode.

No. This issue does not repro under the above conditions (Dark Reader + Change browser theme) on the same PC on Nightly, which is 135.0a1 Windows (64-bit).

Sounds like we may be able to close this as "works for me", then. It would however be good to understand when this issue started happening and when it stopped happening, so that we're sure the underlying issue is fixed.

recurve7, could you perhaps help us figure this out using the mozregression tool? https://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/

Since the status is marked as unaffected for nightly and as affected for release, is it unaffected or affected for beta?

Sorry. I downloaded, installed it, watched the YouTube video, and ran it, but can't figure out what's intended with mozregression.

Alright, seems like this isn't actionable then. Closing this since it seems to not be an issue in Nightly 135.
