True.  Thanks for keeping the bug open.

Incidentally, this bug makes the usernames unreadable that
are saved by the password manager for the menu that appears
below a login box when you've saved multiple usernames.
(Except when they are highlighted.)  My desktop theme uses a
dark gray background with orange text.  The password manager
submenu apparently uses the same color text as my
background, and white text when highlighted.

I cannot read this page well because I have a 1024x768
laptop screen, the width is fixed and the horizontal scroll
is disabled.

I tried these sets in user.js but they had no effect:

/*
user_pref("ui.widgetBackground",            "white"     );
user_pref("ui.widgetForeground",            "black"     );
user_pref("ui.widgetSelectBackground",      "orange"    );
user_pref("ui.widgetSelectForeground",      "cyan"      );
user_pref("ui.widget3DHighlight",           "purple"    );
user_pref("ui.widget3DShadow",              "darkgray"  );
*/

/*
user_pref("ui.menu", "white");
user_pref("ui.menutext", "black");
user_pref("ui.buttonface", "yellow");
user_pref("ui.buttontext", "red");
*/

Thanks.  --mark--
