Firefox 72.0 - Hackdot

Re:Firefox 72.0 by krbzsq on Tuesday January 07, 2020 @09:55AM (#21980430)

Okay, so I don't really post to HN and this may seem like a silly complaint but Firefox's management of theming just seems off to me. I use macOS, I don't fiddle about with my wallpaper very much and so this stains Firefox's top bar with an ugly brown tint. I could switch to the light theme, however when I do so Firefox no longer respects my system change to dark mode.

Does anyone else get bothered by this? Is there any way around this? I'm not an aesthetics person by any means but this is quite annoying. It's a fantastic browser other than this, I've been a user for as long as I can remember.

I'm sure you can probably modify userChrome and all this and I've not really tried because I'm not THAT bothered by it, but surely there should be a way to set your preferred themes for light & dark?

If I'm reading your correctly you'd like to set FF to the light theme (or any theme) but continue to have dark mode pages? about:config browser.in-content.dark-mode true should do that.

You could also try Firefox Color which provides customizable theming for Firefox, I've had good results with it https://color.firefox.com

Firefox Color is great!! It lets me seamless blend firefox with my doom-themed i3wm and emacs.

I agree, and asked around /r/firefox for a solution a while back. Unfortunately without success.
