I have been using Pale Moon for quite a while and loving its traditional UI, however there are several small problems.
The following is while using MicroMoon theme.
As you can see (or not in this case), the text in URL bar is white, which results in complete illegibility, as well as tabs not having visible separation.
And this is default theme.
Text drop-down is also affected in both cases, both in the UI search bar as shown above and on various webpages.
I'm also using XFCE and a custom theme and fully aware this is a system theming issue rather than a bug within Pale Moon, but is there perhaps some lines in about:config I can manually tweak? Or alternatively, can anyone point me to the right line(s) of code within XFCE theme config files to rectify these problems?

Re: Illegible text & input field colors.
I'm using 64 bit linux Pale Moon 29.4.1 running in 64 bit linux Mint 20.2 (Uma) Xfce. I'm also using the Micro Moon v1.10.2 theme.
With the Micro Moon theme, all my text are black letters in the white URL bar. I have no problems with the tabs either
In the default theme which comes with Pale Moon, the above is also the same. The problem is on your end some place.

Well, yes, he did write
I think a possible solution is to somehow exempt Pale Moon from the system theme, as that would fix the issue and at the same time avoid conflicts with the browser's theme colors, but I don't know if that is possible.fully aware this is a system theming issue rather than a bug within Pale Moon
Re: Illegible text & input field colors.
After a bit of diving into XFCE settings I have found the culprit. Using terminal, the value printed out by
did not match with whatever current theme I was using. To rectify the problem I simply set the value to match exactly the name of current theme (case-sensitive):
Bit of ignorance on my part but thanks to everyone who took time to reply
