Just want to confirm that this bug is still NOT fixed. I use KDE Plasma desktop enviroment with Breeze Dark color scheme. Usually I use Chromium, sometimes Google Chrome, as they don't have issues with dark themes. But I want to use Firefox and because of this bug I can't. I was following Firefox releases past 4-5 years expecting to see a fix for this.
Now I use "Text Contrast for Dark Themes" extension which kind of helps, but not enough for daily use. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/text-contrast-for-dark-themes/ It's sad to see that this bug already 17 years old and does not get enough attention to get fixed. As dark themes for GTK+ getting more popular, I hope to see a fix in future. Could be set as a milestone for 2020 or something, that would be really great! No other browser has this issue, only Firefox. If this is super hard to fix, maybe would be good idea to switch to another toolkit instead of GTK+? For example Qt toolkit is very good, has a lot of support and works pretty well. OFFTOPIC: One thing made me happy with recent Firefox releases, that HighDPi display support is improved, and it's possible to get non- integer value scaling of UI and websites. For that I was waiting 2 years and I am really happy it got improved. To get Dark Theme compatibility would be last step to make Firefox usable for me and some other users! -- 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.
