This is yet another bug in themeing firefox. I'll discuss this with the firefox maintainer to see if there is a possible work-around.

On all other web pages I can find the text color on the widget is black, I wonder if the html/css is setting something different for the page mentioned.

In most places the text will be black in the drop down box. This is still hard to read since the background is dark brown. Also it does not match other GTK apps where the text will be white.
