The text input box in my Firefox 60 has dark text on a black background (see below)
The reason is I’m using a dark theme called Adwaita-dark on Ubuntu 18.
It turns out to be a generic problem people are facing. I’m sure someone will fix it down the road but here is the quick fix if you can not wait:
1. Create a desktop icon:
gedit ~/Desktop/Firefox.desktop
2. Fill the following content & save the file.
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=env GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc GTK_THEME=Adwaita:light /usr/bin/firefox
Name=Firefox
Comment=Firefox
Icon=firefox
bash
3. Right-click on the Firefox icon you just created on your desktop and click:
Properties -> Permissions -> Allow executing file as program
4. Double-click the Firefox and click Trust and Launch (you only need to do this once).
5. Done, enjoy the dark color text on white text inputs.
