I have a gtk+ theme that for the widgets use white text on black background. The
entry areas however are black on white in GTK+ using applications. Mozilla tries
to mimick the colors used by GTK+, but it fails and ends up using white text in
white background entry areas. Screenshot showing a good example.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install white text GTK+ 2.0 theme

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
