KDE dark theme is troubling readability
I have the same troubles that this guy: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/814083
Or this guy: http://hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/tweaking-firefox-with-css
I do not know how to force Firefox to stylise my inputs with a white background-color :
I have written this: textarea, input, select {
background-color: #FFFFFF !important; color: #000000 !important; -moz-appearance: none !important;
}
But that's not working.
Can you please give me a solution. I really prefer dark themes. :)

As long as you managed to get it to work, there's no problem.
I don't recommend either userContent.css or userChrome.css because
- On Windows, file extensions are hidden by default, so users often end up naming the files userContent.css.txt / userChrome.css.txt
- The file names are case-sensitive. A single typo makes them not work (e.g. UserChrome.css instead of userChrome.css).
- The files must be placed in a specific folder. This folder in turn must be placed under the profile folder, which isn't easy for everyone to find. Its name is again case-sensitive.
- Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect. Styles applied with Stylish take effect immediately. If you semi-frequently install or modify styles, this is a huge plus.
- Stylish lets you preview styles instantly before applying them. If you make a mistake in userChrome.css / userContent.css, you have to edit the files, restart Firefox and see if that helped, and if not, do it over again.
- Previewing styles in Stylish shows you if there are any CSS errors that would make the style not work.
- With Stylish, you can install any style from http://userstyles.org with the click of a button. These styles can be checked for updates from the Add-ons Manager, just like add-ons.

That should work fine. There are mainly two ways to go about it.
- Install Stylish and restart Firefox when prompted.
- Click the Stylish icon on the navigation toolbar and choose Write New Style, then Blank style.
- Paste the following in the text box, give the style a name, then click the Save button.
textarea, input, select {
background-color: white !important;
color: black !important;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}
If you don't want to install an add-on, you can use the userContent.css file instead, but I don't recommend it.
1. Start a text editor like Kate. 2. Paste the following in a new file.
textarea, input, select {
background-color: white !important;
color: black !important;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}
3. Save the file as userContent.css to your desktop. Note that the file name is case-sensitive. 4. In Firefox, type about:support into the address bar and press Enter. 5. Click the Show Folder button. Your Firefox profile folder opens in your file manager. 6. Create a new folder called chrome — again note the name is case-sensitive. 7. Move the userContent.css file from the desktop into the chrome folder. 8. Restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.
That's it! Many thanks! :)
Why do you just not recommand to use custom css? Seems better to me than installing a new add-on, especially when we know that firefox has been mocked for its poor performance related to add-on (firebug and so on).
Anyway, thank you again, it works now.
