Steps to reproduce:

0. Open the devtools or the development toolbar (MAJ + F2)
1. Go to about:addons
2. Choose "Appearance" or (skin or theme, I do not know in english)
3. Choose the compact dark theme
4. Choose the default theme again (which is light)


Actual results:

The devtools are still in the dark theme. (See developer bar at the bottom, on my screenshot).


Expected results:

The devtools should get the light theme again. 
Workaround : choosing the compact light theme before choosing the default theme.

Ever confirmed: true
It affects all the devtools, and it's pretty annoying because the user can't revert to the default theme for devtools which are stuck with the dark theme.
Component: Developer Tools: Graphic Commandline and Toolbar → Developer Tools
The devtools theme can also be switched back inside the toolbox options panel (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Settings)
Priority: -- → P3
It seems this bug is now irrelevant because devtools do not inherit the theme from the main window
The sync between the devtools and the browser has indeed been removed : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1389939.
I close the ticket.
