screenshot showing illegible popup

Description of problem: I use MATE spin with Blue-Submarine theme. The tooltips that popup to describe forum topics or pictures on webpages are illegible because the black foreground text colour is ignored and white used instead. The same issue affects Blue Menta, the default MATE theme and all other themes with light background popups.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-47.0-4.fc24


How reproducible: all the time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set Blue-Submarine or Blue Menta as the GUI theme in MATE
2. Open Firefox and navigate to http://forums.fedoraforum.org/search.php?do=getnew
3. Hover over a topic title

Actual results: Illegible low contrast tooltips.


Expected results: Black text that can be read

Dear firefox maintainer.
FF-47 still ignore fg color setting in  themes for  GTK+-3.20 and use always a white color.
For this reason you don't see the issue in themes which use a white fg color on a dark bg for tooltips, like BlackMate or Adwaita.
With ff-46 all was fine in our themes.
Eg. BlueMenta

tooltip,
.tooltip {
	border-radius: 2px;
	border-width: 1px;
	border-color: @theme_tooltip_fg_color;
	border-style: solid;
}

tooltip.background,
.tooltip.background {
	background-color: @theme_tooltip_bg_color;
    background-clip: padding-box;
}

tooltip label,
.tooltip label {
	text-shadow: none;
	color: @theme_tooltip_fg_color;
	padding: 8px;
}

tooltip decoration,
.tooltip decoration,
tooltip.csd decoration,
.tooltip.csd decoration,
tooltip.ssd decoration,
.tooltip.ssd decoration,
tooltip.solid-csd decoration,
.tooltip.solid-csd decoration,
tooltip.background.csd decoration,
.tooltip.background.csd decoration,
tooltip.background.ssd decoration,
.tooltip.background.ssd decoration,
tooltip.background.solid-csd decoration,
.tooltip.background.solid-csd decoration {
	background-color: transparent;
}

Note, adding style classes back for gtk+-3.20 , here we use nodes, was needed to get tooltips working with ff-46.

I have no ideas anymore to fix that from theme side, and i'm sure my settings are valid after spending about 1000 hours to get our themes working with gtk+-3.20 ;)

So please fix firefox or tell me how to select the fg color.
