Address bar dropdown is transparent on 122, making reading text difficult about firefox-ui-fix HOT 15 CLOSED

Fixed a conflict between the following commit and the previous one.
mozilla/gecko-dev@96fe482

from firefox-ui-fix.

I am having the same problem on 122.0 (64-Bit), original lepton style

edit:
I found that applying the "light" theme instead of "system theme" (for/from linux mint in my case) fixed that particular problem, with (as far as I can tell from 5 mins clicking around) no other visible changes.
so there is at least a workaround :)

@black7375 Greybird (shipped with xfce4) and it seem that Firefox now seems to pick different colors for the address bar background than before. Changing the theme does improve the situation. Apparently this is not a Firefox-UI-Fix issue. It also occurs when renaming the chrome dir.
Report invalid. Thank you for the pointer.

@black7375 Thank you very much! I cherry-picked the commit onto the proton-style branch and the appearance is just like before updating Firefox. ❤️

It looks like ed31543 brought back the transparent URL bar for me. I'm also using the default system theme and Breeze for the GTK theme.

This was driving me mad as well. I just removed the old installation (removed the chrome and user.js in the profile folder; you may want to make a backup instead), and reinstalled with the installation script. Seems to solve the issue

P.S.: never mind, the style was not being applied

Latest "photon-style" is affected too. All other menus show up just fine.

Good: Firefox 121.0.1
Bad: Firefox 122.0

Thanks for documenting this. This is an effective workaround, and choosing either the built-in Firefox "Light" or "Dark" theme seems to resolve the problem just fine.

I think it's probably easier for the maintainer(s) to just point Linux people at this advice, rather than try to chase down exactly what bit of CSS deep within Firefox's internals is causing this for one particular—let's be honest—fringe platform.

I can confirm that the commit 4545b12 fixes this particular issue. Thank you.

Related to that, it seems that the URL bar background changed too. On my side, it used to be brighter, resulting in better contrast than whatever this is: (also related to text readability)

@SmallJoker What's your theme?
If you're a Linux theme user, you can figure it out with the following command.

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme

from firefox-ui-fix.

@SmallJoker With a little code, I reverted to excluding -moz-gtk-theme-family.

Since a better default theme is the goal, I think it can be fixed.

In the meanwhile, I add the following lines in userChrome.css to customize the background color of the dropdown. It is for dark themes, but you can modify the color as needed:

#urlbar:is([focused="true"], [open]) > #urlbar-background {
  background: #000d !important;
}

Sorry, I found your comment late.
The rolled back colors are now enforced in all GTK environments.

This should have been resolved in v8.6.0.
