Dark Reader, often recommended, is very slow, especially on old hardware. This built-in mode is much more efficient and works well on vast majority of pages.

    body {
        background-color: #262626 !important;
    }

    body > center > table, input, textarea {
        background-color: #222 !important;
    }

    body > center > table > tbody > tr:first-child > td {
        background-color: #ff6600 !important;
    }

    /* Bright text */
    td.title a:link, span.comment font, span.comment font a:link, u a:link, span.yclinks a:link, body:not([id]),
    td:nth-child(2):not(.subtext) > a:link, input, textarea, p > a, a > u, .c00, .c00 a:link,
    a[href="http://www.ycombinator.com/apply/"], a[href="https://www.ycombinator.com/apply/"] {
        color: #ccc !important;
    }

    .admin td {
        color: #aaa !important;
    }

    /* search box and comment box */
    input, textarea {
        border: 1px solid #828282 !important;
    }

Then I used userChrome.js from https://github.com/AlexVallat/firefox-scripts/ to add a button which toggles the browser preferences "browser.display.use_system_colors" and "browser.display.document_color_use", so I can still access bright mode if needed.

I know this sounds like an ad, but I was pretty impressed with it

Thank you!

It has a "Dark Mode" under options, plus it allows you to revisit a thread later and know which comments are new.
