Although use of the colors choson in the os is often desired in applications, this isn't the case for browsers.

On some pages where buttons have been themed to have a different background the text simply is invisible, because they forget to think about that not everyone uses back text per default.

Therefore it's desired to force a more "generic" theme to page rendering rather than using the GTK+/QT theme for eg. buttons. And then let people theme them by givning a default css for the browser if they desire it.

Reproducible: Always

Most users in fact seem to prefer the OS-themed buttons, at least based on past feedback.  This is borne out by the fact that other browsers (IE, Safari) have the same behavior.
