With prefers-color-scheme, web developers can provide styles specifically for dark or light mode. Recently, Firefox started to display dark mode specific styles to users who used a dark Firefox theme, even if they have their system set to light mode.
There is a flag in Firefox that determines whether dark/light preferences are taken from the browser or from the browser theme.
This is how you set it:
- Go to
about:config - Search
layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override - Set it to
0to force dark mode,1to force light mode,2to set according to system’s colour setting or3to set according to browser theme colour
(via support.mozilla.org)
Personally, I feel respecting the system setting worked better. I hope it gets changed back. In the mean time, I hope this override helps.
