Unreadable text in Google Docs in Firefox on Gnome Dark Mode

By Emily Wilson

Screenshot of the problem. Name and middle part removed.

In Google Docs, I cannot see the text in comments as it is written in black on very dark gray. The title of a document is also displayed strangely. Similar issues occur on other web pages.

The issues occur both when I use the standard Firefox appearance and with FT Deep Dark 14.0.

I use Firefox 44.0.2 on GNOME Shell 3.18.3 with the GTK+ theme Adwaita-Dark-3.14-rev.2 on Arch Linux 4.4.1-2.

P.S.: I added a screenshot, I covered the user with a red box and removed the middle part of the image to fit the screen.

Basically:

  1. Enterabout:config in the URL
  2. Right click -> New String.
  3. Name widget.content.gtk-theme-override value Adwaita:light
  4. Restart Firefox
