What article on docs.github.com is affected?

I have noticed this issue all over the documentation, the side-navigation menu items appear to be using the incorrect colors while using a light theme provided by the User theme preferences. This issues happens with each light theme, and does not happen when using a dark theme.

Docs example - light theme - Firefox

Appearance preferences

Docs example - dark theme - Firefox

Note, this does not happen with Chrome.

Docs example - light theme - Chrome

What changes are you suggesting?

The menu items should be readable when using a light theme regardless of browser.

Additional information

I tested this using Firefox 112.0.1 and 113.0.1 for archlinux, with private windows and no extensions installed.
