Private Window text color problem

What happened?

So, I have installed waterfox because I lost my interest on base firefox. My experience is great and during my exploration I have found a strange behavior: wrong text color used in private window tab & url bar

When I set my waterfox theme to "light" then open a private window tab, text color is dark and this is a bad thing since private windows are always in dark mode on waterfox no matter which theme you use as you can see here. I assume waterfox believes private window is using light mode therefore it changes text color to black.

Image Dark mode in private window is not a big issue and I am fine with it, but what bothers me is the fact text color is dark. This should NOT happen since dark letters in a dark window sounds like a bad idea. I perceive this behavior as a misconfiguration rather than a bug, because it looks like something that was not set up properly in about:config.

I repeated this in my linux mint to see if this was just my Arch being weird, and it looks like the same thing happens in other distros too! Image

Reproducible?
