Description

### Describe the bug

Light theme is no longer "white" in Firefox 146. Title bar/tabs bar, context menu and bunch of other elements now grey instead of white.

There is no difference between Light and System theme - auto in Firefox 146 (and 147 beta), so maybe this is Firefox bug? Or, rather, this is fixed bug and this is how Firefox should look like in Windows 10 by default?

### Expected behavior

Same as in Firefox 145 and earlier, light theme should be "white" instead of "grey".

### Screenshots

How it looks now in Firefox 146 (portable version, clean profile, default settings):

Research direction

Reproduce the light-theme appearance on Windows 10 in Firefox 146, comparing it with Firefox 145 using a clean portable profile and the photon-style distribution. Trace the theme styling responsible for the title bar, tabs bar, and context menu, then verify that Light differs from System and restores the earlier white appearance.
