Hi,

Since upgrading to FF100, almost all of the 'select' boxes on my webpages have white text on a white (or very light) background, and are only visible when hovered over, see attached screenshot.

How can I rectify this please?

I suspect it's this:

menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu {
  /* color of the text */    
  color: White !important;
}

If I disable my userchrome.css the problem is not there, so it may be that.

/*tighten drop down menus*/ menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu {

 padding-block: 1px !important;

}

root {
 --arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 1px 1px !important;

}

/* changed this block ----------------------------------------------------*/ /* #bookmarksMenuPopup hbox {background:#CD5C5C !important;} */ /* /Change highlighted menu text to any color:/ */ /* menupopup > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], */ /* menupopup > menuitem[_moz-menuactive="true"], */ /* popup > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], */ /* browsermessage,notification .notification-inner{ border-color: red !important;} */ /* browsermessage, notification{ background-color: red !important;} */ /* menupopup { */ /* -moz-appearance: none !important; */ /* background-color: #CD5C5C !important } */

  1. bookmarksMenuPopup { --panel-background: #CD5C5C !important;}

menupopup > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], menupopup > menuitem[_moz-menuactive="true"], popup > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], browsermessage,notification .notification-inner{ border-color: red !important;} browsermessage, notification{ --panel-background: red !important;} menupopup {-moz-appearance: none !important; --panel-background: #CD5C5C !important }

  1. menu_unsortedBookmarks,
  2. menu_mobileBookmarks,
  3. bookmarksMenuItemsSeparator{

display: none !important; }

/* hide Bookmarks Toolbar Folder */

menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu { /* color of the text */ color: White !important; }

Hi jscher2000,

You are right, however deleting that also turns my bookmark menu and popup menu text black on my dark red theme and not as easily readable.

See here: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1376213] link

So if that solution is wrong, is there something else I can do to have white text on my bookmark and popup menus?

Changed my userchrome.css with these, and it works for me:

menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu { /* color of the text */ color: lightblue !important; }

menupopup > :is(menuitem, menu):hover {

 background-color: yellow !important;

}

I found this in some code on my website and I think the reason for the :not() was to avoid affecting the <menuitem>s which are within <select> controls:

menupopup:not(.in-menulist) > menuitem, 
menupopup:not(.in-menulist) > menu {
  /* your rules go here */ 
}

Thanks for getting back to me, but I have no clue as to what that means lol!

It means if you want white text on menus but not in certain form control drop-downs, you need to tweak your selectors to exclude any menupopup which has class="in-menulist" -- and here how:

menupopup:not(.in-menulist) > menuitem, menupopup:not(.in-menulist) > menu {   color: white !important; }

OK, thanks for the explanation.

I have now used that, and reverted to my preferred (original) menus, and now all is well.

Thank you so much.
