Not a security bug. When you say "theme", do you mean a Firefox theme or an OS theme?

Given the original reported is no more interested in solving this I will be your guest :). I have the same problem from a long time now. I use KDE on linux with dark color theme, and oxygen-gtk as gtk theme, so it inherits the KDE color scheme. I use the default theme in firefox and I have unchecked "Use system colors" since with that option set, no text is readable usually.

This is not a wrong style in youtube/google/facebook and another tons of site imho. I think this because midori (another gtk browser) renders them correctly. 

Just a note: I will not migrate to chrome after 3 days, so please resume the work in this bug :)

I will attach a screenshot in a minute.

So here I searched for the word "test" on both browsers and in firefox the google search field (with the test word typed) is almost invisible. Now both applications use the same exact style (gtk oxygen-gtk) and the color is not enforced by the CSS from what I understand.

Dao, I am adding you to this bug CC, just to kindly ask you some attention, since you looked at this bug before. Don't take me as rude, I am just trying to solve a very bad bug, and if you don't want to have a look at it for whatever reason, just remove yourself from the CC and I never bother you again.

And I want to point out again this doesn't seems to be a wrong site style. One of the reason is that other browsers on the same system, with the same color and style can render it correctly.

Thank you

I just realized this bug is associated to Tech Evangelism product. This is not the case at all. This is not a bug in the websites. Please read my comments in the bug and switch the product back to Firefox please.

Moreover attached is a screenshot of the inspect element view, and colors are wrong here too. This is totally unrelated to the website, so not a Tech Evangelism bug
