I just want to know why the latest update has changed all bookmarks to BLACK WRITING on the dark theme. Needless to say, it is almost impossible to read. MAJOR design flaw. I cannot/will not be able to change it to the light theme, as I suffer from epilepsy and too much/too long with white screens are dangerous. Why did you change it to something practically unusable? Can I change it back so I can work again? I have no desire to use another web browser, but the change you've made is likely to make it necessary.

(first image from pre-update, second image post-update)

Please note the almost invisibility of the bookmarks in the second post-update image - I can't imagine this design change benefits anyone.

Sorry, this is a known issue with add-on themes. It will be fixed in the next week or two, but for now, does the built-in dark theme work for you? Use themes to change the look of Firefox

Appreciate the info, guess I'll just have to squint for a week or two until the update (dark theme is fine, it's just gone overkill on the bookmark sidebar)
