Firefox 47 worked around this by disabling the dark theme entirely. Firefox 55 beta supports two new independent about:config settings, widget.chrome.allow-gtk-dark-theme and widget.content.allow-gtk-dark- theme (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1158076). The former gets you a dark-themed UI without messing up web page content.
