Using Win10 High Contrast Theme, even though I've set firefox to "Never" override colors, some websites still dont look right, like this one https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062115577/the-song-of-achilles/ if I "Ctrl-A" to select everything then I see all text, otherwise I dont, and harpercollins is not the only website.

What are your default text and background colors? If a site doesn't specify, Firefox will use those colors. Normally it's black on white. Is yours still set that way?

In Windows I have the "High Contrast #1" theme set and my settings in Firefox are in the image. I have tried a combination of Black Text on White Background and vice versa with "Use system colors" on and off, the only way I can see the text for that link is with windows set back to default theme. I also did close and reopen firefox with each combination test.
I think you will be able to reproduce the problem even without changing the windows theme, just uncheck use system colors, then change the background to black and the text to white and you will see, the site is now unusable, i think its because the settings in firefox does change the background color, but not the text color
EDIT: and I think the checkbox "Use system colors" doesnt work

There are some weird style rules that set the background. I'm not sure how these should be interpreted. The page sets: body: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) (i.e. black with alpha channel 0) and text color black. If the alpha channel gets blocked for some reason then you would get a black background.

does that mean its a bug?
I'm not able to replicate the problem on Windows 7, but there are a lot of theme differences between 7 and 10.
Works for me as well, but I'm not on Windows and I do not use a high contrast theme and can't test your use case.
I assume that it works fine if you temporarily disable the High Contrast theme in Windows?
