After the latest update, my header and footer are black with fuzzy white lettering. I have tried resetting the theme, but it reverts back. How do I fix this?

My Firefox recently updated to Quantum. My header and footer are now black with fuzzy white lettering. It is unreadable. I have tried converting to a custom theme, to the standard dark theme, and the light theme. All of these themes work in the preview, but as soon as I touch anything on the screen it reverts back to this unreadable state. I have attached a picture of what it looks like.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I have tired different themes. I am at a loss and would appreciate any help you all could give me.

If theme reverts to black, try to disable all enabled EXTENSIONS (as for me, the "colourful tabs" I kept ON was the culprit...after DISABLE OLD EXTENSIONS, the themes stayed where they are :)

I think that is caused by the "accent color" bug on Windows 10. Could you try this suggested Windows setting change from a user on Reddit:

I had the exact problem and I solved it by going to Settings>personalisation>colours>"Show colour on Start, taskbar, action centre and title bar" and changing "On" to "Off".

Please see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1190561

So this person says it was the Colorful Tabs Extension that was the issue once disabled was fine.
