Address bar gets white on override force-dark
Because some apps don't have a dark mode theme, I have to enable the override force-dark in the developers options. When it's activated the address bar of Firefox becomes light colored with white text, getting hard to read the address. Is there a way to fix it without disabling override force-dark?

After the update 5.2.0 (Build #21701706) i tested again with force dark mode and it didn't happen again.
--- this part is not related to the opened issue --- This update came with some features that i liked (thanks developers): - The opened tabs section has better design - when the back button is pressed in opened tabs it returns to last opened tab instead of exiting Firefox - the tab becomes full screen when the page is scrolled down - and of course I'm not having the force dark mode issue anymore

Firefox preview already has a dark theme. Does setting Firefox to use its dark theme fix the problem?
No. Both, light and dark mode, have the same issue when force-dark is enabled. I was already using the dark theme from Firefox.
Here's a screenshot on light theme. Is quite the same, but the icons of the notification bar get dark and is worse to read.

Hi
I recommend using the dark theme and the dark reader add-on available in the Firefox Preview menu. Some add-ons and features may not work on this site.
Thanks. I was using both dark theme in Android and Dark Reader extension. I found a workaround that is an app called Darq, that I can choose what apps I want to force dark mode, so I can disable to Firefox preview. The down side is that i have to give permissions through adb or root Android to use it. For adb permissions, there are some circumstances that these permissions are lost (when reboot for example).
