The text in the URL is gray, and the URL bar is also gray. This makes for very poor visibility of the text.

I too believe the previous theme was perfect. Consider making a third theme for this mild gray version if you are bent on keeping it. It's not 'dark.'

FYI: The change was reverted recently. The latest Nightly Build is using the "good old/perfect" default dark Theme again :)

Thanks for the info, nightly is supposed to be for testing changes after all, so no worries.

Your reported bug 1808929 has been already closed, because it was a duplicate of this one :). But this bug report needs to stay open, since bug 1704347 is still valid.

Fixed in 110 by backout. Ray do you want to keep it open?

Thanks for the flag Pascal. We can close this one since we decided to back out the updates.
