### Additional context

Similar to https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/issues/218 - but on Linux and on non-system themes only. DE is KDE and system theme is Adwaita/Breeze-Dark.
Non-ESR version seems to not be affected - tested with v130.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Linux with KDE using Firefox ESR 115.16.0, the photon style, and a non-system theme, then compare it with the system theme shown in the screenshots. Trace the photon-style UI styling responsible for the window controls. Done means the minimize, maximize, and close buttons are visible and remain functional across the listed non-system themes.
