I wholly agree with Storm's assessment. As a programmer, a web developer, and a UI designer, the fact that Firefox has sat on this bug for over a decade is shameful, especially since it has been *patched* with extensions before.
For anyone affected, install the "Text Contrast for Dark Themes" (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/text-contrast-for-dark- themes/?src=api) extension. I've been using it for the past few weeks, and it resolves 98% of the problems related to this bug. The fact that extension exists should NOT be taken as an excuse for Firefox not to fix this. If anything, it means that Firefox developers have even *less* excuse for taking care of the problem, since the patch code is in the extension! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220263 Title: Bad Firefox integration with dark themes Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in XULRunner: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I'm using Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 5 on Ubuntu 8.04 with a dark theme. Now I see all the input boxes and buttons filled with grey colour. This happened even with Firefox 2, but I solved that problem with a quick guide under the comment "firefox fix" by Proton at the bottom of this page: http://www.gnome- look.org/content/show.php/Grey+Neu?content=60824 In Firefox 3 I can't correct this problem.
