I think I figured it out. This happens if your default Gnome theme specifies 
a non-white background for text entry fields. If you switch to a Gnome theme 
with white text entry fields, this fugliness goes away. This is an obvious 
bug in Firefox. Some parts of it ignore Gnome theme settings.

You can do this by opening firefox, then opening the theme switcher, and 
cycling through the themes until you find out that paints the URL field 
white, then apply it.
