In HTML tab I find the text color of hidden elements to be almost
completely unreadable when the element is selected. Looks like its
{color: #9ecadc; background: #b2b4bf;} really low contrast. It'd be
nice if that color was adjusted in further updates.

Example

The background color for that is specified by your OS, not by Firebug
or Firefox.  Compare my screenshot:

The Firebug code is wrong for using an OS-designated background color
without also using the matching OS-designated foreground color, but
that's the price you pay for colorized text - there aren't enough
colors designated in the OS, so some will have to be selected by the
app, and therefore there are bound to be conflicts.  However, it's
easily worked around - just adjust your desktop color scheme.
