I change nothing in my settings and I am now on Dark background everywhere despite having: - forced the system settings (OS) to stay in light background - in about:preferences appearance I've manually selected (forced) the light background - in about:config I've tried to switch the browser.theme.content-theme to "1" (instead of "0")

this is really frustrating, I would like to get a better "reading" of what happens, as an Engineer I am happy to also squint at logs if needed, please consider adding a preference / settings change log file

Try switching to the built-in Light theme.

heya! thanks for looking into this! I've just tried now to follow the tip but no luck. Switched to (forced to use) the light theme. Tested again, still getting dark background, restarted browser, checked the configuration and light theme was still selected, reopened website for testing, still in dark theme.

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

What setting do you have here?

  • Settings -> General -> Language and Appearance -> Website Appearance

If auto isn't working, then try light.
