Build ID: 20110819042004

Steps to reproduce:

Visit website in Firefox 6+


Actual results:

Path section of domain name does not have enough contrast for visually impaired people.


Expected results:

Firefox should style the dimmed text to be dark enough to provide a decent amount of contrast depending on the system theme.

sounds like exactly the issue reported in bug 654411 comment 44. Btw I doubt we may come with a solution that mau satisfy each custom theme, the theme should probably take more care in choosing a locationbar color.
