@Julius (and everyone who thinks this problem is in New Wave):

Isn't it obvious that the problem is that firefox (and OOo) treat the menubar items as menu items?

The problem is when the menubar has a light background and the menu has a dark background or vice versa. In this case, firefox and OOo put the 'menu style' text over whatever background is selected. These apps completely ignore 'menubar style' text colours...

Now, Dust - doesn't have different menubar/menu colours... New Wave Dark Menus also doesn't have a strong contrast between menubar and menu background. The only way to 'fix' New Wave is to make it New Wave Dark Menus. This bug should definitely be marked as 'Confirmed' for firefox. It is a very long standing bug that was first made obvious by the many 'vista' styled themes a couple of years ago.

At least we can fix firefox with userchrome I suppose, OOo pisses me off more.

Just to summarise: There is NO possible work around except to change the background colour of the menubar or the menu so that they both work with the same foreground colour. (As the talented author did for New Wave Dark Menus).
