Fonts are white even if i set them as black explicitly (only in input boxes)
Hi, my problem is this :
In all the input boxes (just like these in which i'm writing) the font is white , just as the background and it makes text invisible (i have to select it to be able to read it). If i manually set the colors of background and text, then i dont see boxes and buttons (they turn to the same color of the background, and it makes them invisible). All this is annoying , is there some fix?
PD: I use reverse desktop theme, but it is not like i'm going to change my desktop to make firefox work, i'd change my browser rather than that.

Sorry for the confusion. To make this work on web pages you need to place the code in the userContent.css file without the @namespace line
Add code to the userContent.css file.
button, input, select, select > input[type="button"], textarea {
-moz-appearance: none !important;
background-color: red !important;
}
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

Give this a look at;
NoSquint {web link} NoSquint allows you to adjust the text-only and full-page (both text and images) zoom levels as well as color settings both globally (for all sites) and per site.
It doesn't change input boxs' (places in which you can write) text fonts.

If you use a dark theme on your Linux distribution then you probably need to use code in userChrome.css to either modify the text color or the background color to black or dark gray. You can leave out selectors that you do not need.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
@namespace url("https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
button, input, select, select > input[type="button"], textarea { color: black !important; }

@cor-el what you say would fix my problem but i edit that file manually and nothing happens, then i tried with ChromeEdit Plus and nothing happened neither. I even changed background-color but it makes no effect
You can add the -moz-appearance:none!important; rule to see if that makes it work. You may have to add other style rules to make the button appear properly.
I've tried now this: @namespace url("https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); body {
-moz-appearance:none !important; background-color: red !important;
}
And without !important too and nothing changes, in any page.
