Why is the text the same color as the background--and only sometimes?

Hey! I'm using Firefox on Zorin 12 (Ubuntu 16.~04) and on some pages -- not all, but enough -- the search bars in the style sheet (i.e., not Firefox's own search bar) give me text and background that's the same color! I have to hit Ctrl+A to see what I typed.

What's weirder is that it's not a color specific phenomenon! Makeuseof.com's search bar fills in a transparent charcoal grey color, and Youtube's is just solid white. In both instances, the text is the same color as the respective box color.

But here on Mozilla.org, this doesn't happen. Grey search bar, white text -- and I am very happy.

I checked this against Chromium and Midori -- those browsers don't seem to have the issue. So is that something Firefox is drawing poorly? Could I theoretically go into the about:config file and change it?

Are you using a dark theme or other theme that supports transparency in Linux?

I would assume that Firefox uses some settings from your OS, so maybe try a different theme in your Linux distribution to see if that has effect.
