Comment (by logicrays):

 I’ve reviewed the issue. Since Firefox has updated its handling of ::-moz-
 placeholder by using color-mix instead of opacity, we should remove
 opacity: 1 from core and bundled themes where it no longer has any effect.
 Additionally, themes that don’t set a placeholder color should explicitly
 define one using a sufficient contrast value like:

 ::placeholder {
         color: color-mix(in srgb, currentColor 54%, transparent);
 }
