If you're using the adwaita-dark gtk theme, you may have noticed that the text entry fields on lots and lots of sites make your text almost impossible to read, using firefox. You can fix that by creating/editing the, "widget.content.gtk-theme-override" key(in about:config), setting it to "Adwaita" and restarting firefox.

    Thank you. This is a problem I've been having for a long time and I just didn't care enough to fix. I just selected all text to read it. Now that you've provided an easy no effort solution though... Thanks.

    @BadFox I was selecting text too, or copying and pasting from a text editor for longer things, but today I decided I'd had enough. I hated having to change the colors of other elements, or use an eye-piercing theme. I searched DDG for, "adwaita-dark invisible text," and the solution came right up.

    I'm honestly amazed Mozilla hasn't fixed this yet. Someone should contribute to the upstream for it.
