- According to [this support answer to "Home page is black"][0],
- 1. Enter `about:config` in the address bar.
- 2. Edit the value of "layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override" to
- ```
- 0 to use a dark background
- 1 to use a light background
- 2 to follow the system GTK theme
- 3 to follow the browser toolbar theme
- ```
- Some notes:
- - [The option is not documented yet.][1]
- - Since few web pages offer a dark mode, don't expect
this to affect many of them. If you want to force a dark background for any page, there are several add-ons for that, for example [Dark Reader][2].- - If you choose `2` and use a global dark theme on KDE, you also need to set a dark GTK theme in the settings manager (_Application style > GNOME/GTK application style_). Choosing only the global theme as dark will have no effect on Firefox, because the former is Qt based and the latter GTK based.
