Details

as is visible from the screenshot in the URL, mozilla seems to have problems if Windows is set up to use custom colors, specifically if the default text color is a light color like White. another problem: the interface appears to be set up to reflect some arbitrary "good looks" setup as opposed to a slightly more functional standard interface, thus sacrificing usability, speed, functionality and (in some cases) stability in favor of good looks and what comes across as a desire to not look like a Windows app. I am aware that Mozilla is not a Windows-only program, but if this is the future of how it's going to work, frankly I'll be spending my money on Opera. I look forward to seeing how further milestones will resolve these issues.
One defect per bug report, please. This report is limited to the first problem you described; if you want to report other defects, please do so by reporting one specific problem per bug report. What you call 'another problem', for instance, is much too vague, and if filed by itself would be closed immediately. CSS system color incompatibility? reassigning to ben for triage, cc german.

looks like a dupe of 24733 (I'm assuming you've got "use windows colours" checked in prefs) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 24733 ***
