Firefox URL/Search box and results drop down show diagonal pink line background

With the last update I suddenly have the url/search box background and its search results drop down background set to an ugly pink with diagonal lines.

I am visually impaired and now its almost impossible to use firefox because I can't read the text on top of the diagonal colored bands. There doesn't seem to be any settings to turn on or off this appearance.

I will have to switch browsers until this is fixed and I don't want to.

I don't think there is a robot in the address bar, but I don't know for sure, what that means.

However, the problem is now gone. I swear I did not change anything.

It looks good now though.

I don't seen any instructions about what to do. I am using the system theme. I've never changed themes. I haver had this problem before.

Is there a robot in the address bar? Please hover your mouse pointer over the bar and see whether there is any message about remote control.
