On starting my laptop and going online I noticed that my sidbar bookmarks text has turned black, it was previously white as I use the dark mode for my browser, I have tried changeing my theme and the only way to revert this is to not use any themes and just have white background which I dont want, is there any way to change this and why has it happened, I have been thought both Firefox and Windows settings but cant find a way to change it?

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?

Yes the dark option in settings works fine and has done for sometime its just today that the bookmarks text has changed.

There is a bug in Firefox 140 with certain dark themes that causes dark text on a dark background. However, I didn't think this affected the built-in Dark theme (simply named Dark). Are you using the built-in Dark theme? You can switch around and test on the Add-ons page: Use themes to change the look of Firefox.

I am useing dark and have done for some time same as a theme and never suffered this, and as I said I switched through several of my installed themes and the effect remained.
