Firefox 41.0.2 options background is white

What have you done with your colors? In tools/options the background is glaring white. Before I had everything grey now I can't change it at all it seems to be hardcoded white. It is for the user to decide what color he wants the background not the developer. This is the first time I have seen this in the options menu in firefox. I decided to revert to an earlier version that doesn't have this problem. I hope you will remedy this in future versions.

Hi, No I'm not using a high contrast theme. I'm using a custom theme in Win 7 home premium 64 bit. The window background is set to gray. Text is black on grey. I reverted back to Firefox 40.0.3 and the problem disappeared. I think I'll stay with this version until mozilla fixes it. Thanks for your assistance.

The default color is sort of a pale bluish-gray. Some other users have reported problems with the Options page with a Windows "high contrast" theme. Are you using one of those?

What is the name/URL of the theme? I will try to check whether the problem has been reported.
