Firefox Color Extension resets after restarting computer

I have been using the Firefox Color extension for a while with no problems. I noticed that in the last few days, when I restart my computer, the theme resets. Specifically, when I first open Firefox, I very briefly see my saved theme but after just a second it reverts back to the default colors/theme.

When I go to the Firefox Color page, my theme is still saved and once I click on it, it takes effect until I restart the computer.

This only started in the last few days and I know there was a Firefox update (132) as well as a Windows update both in the last week or so.

I'm using Windows 10 Home, version 22H2, OS build 19045.5011.

Is anyone else having this problem or know what might be causing it?

Firefox Addon/Extension issue is best to contact the Addon Developer of the issue so they can look into the issue and update the Addon if need be.

Oh wait. I was able to go back into the Settings --> Themes and then change it to the Custom Background.

Firefox 132.0.1 should help fix the issue with Firefox Color extension.

Fixed an issue causing themes to reset to default after restarting Firefox, in particular when using the Firefox Color add-on.
