Found in:
Beta 138.0b6

Affected versions:
Beta 138.0b6

Tested platforms:
Affected platforms: macOS 13.2.1, Windows 11

Preconditions:
Ensure that the pref "browser.profiles.enabled" is set to true in about:config.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set the OS theme to "Dark" and create Profile 1 using the "system theme". Observe that the avatar background color is 'Dark' for Profile 1.
2. Create Profile 2 using the "system theme". Observe that the avatar background color is 'Dark' for Profile 2.
3. Close all Profiles(Quit).
4. Change the OS theme to "Light" and open the profile created above.
5. Go to the 'Profiles' panel from the hamburger menu and observe the avatar background color for Profile 1 and Profile 2.

Expected result:
The avatar background color should be 'Light' because the OS theme was changed to 'Light' in step 4.

Actual result:
The avatar background color remains 'Dark', since the profile was created with the system theme when the OS theme was set to 'Dark' on step 1.

Regression range:
It's not a regression.

Additional Notes:
I only noticed this issue after creating at least two profiles using the system theme, then quitting all profiles, set another OS theme and reopening them.
