the blank white page is killer. inbetween page loads a bright flash of white.

This can be fixed with some user css.

/* Put the content below into your <firefox profile>/chrome/userChrome.css */ .browserContainer { background-color: #000000 !important; }

Nice one! I had to create the folder "chrome" and the file userChrome.css and restart firefox. How to find the profile-folder: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-...

I use Shadowfox [1] and it corrects this issue. Adds a dark theme to many other components on Firefox too.

We should go back to system color (usually medium grey) as the default background for webpages. Not sure why more recent browsers have replaced it w/ white, this makes for pretty poor usability/accessibility.

Similarly, I wish the app itself enabled Dark Mode on Mojave. File save/etc dialogs are awfully white in a darker environment.

(More broadly, I wish Apple would allow things like file dialogs to force to dark mode. I know you can set NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance to NO, but it tends to mess up a bunch of other random stuff too)

Is there an about:config setting to force this, for example for i3 users?
