Tested on macOS nightly in case it matters.

The text is grey, and so is the background. The text is also tiny.

I have to assume this regressed at some point, it seems unlikely we shipped it with contrast this low.

This is a bit better on Windows, but we technically fail contrast checks there, too.

I also noticed that drag/drop on this text is supposed to work (bug 978291) but AFAICT drag/drop even to a populated downloads list box is also broken. I filed bug 1620184.

From the regression window, this looks like bug 1511878.

Looks like the colour should be var(--in-content-deemphasized-text).
