Created attachment 1249035 [details] Screenshot of Firefox location bar Description of problem: The new Cinnamon theme (which got updated by default) makes it difficult to read the input and select box controls in Mozilla Firefox.

You could try this extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/text-contrast-for-dark-themes/ It adds an option to toggle text contrast.
That's partially https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1158076 but I don't think Cinamon actually uses "dark" theme variant. The fix would be enabled e10s + mozbz#1158076 + set default white theme for content process.
And, of course, widget.allow-gtk-dark-theme should not be set to true. Btw: With the new 52.0-6.fc25 build works around the bug in content process as described in comment #5, that's very nice. The urlbar is still barely readable because URLs are drawn in dark blue on dark gray. I've reported this separately, see bug #1435964.
