Unwanted theme keeps spontaneously installing itself since Quantum update.

Since Quantum updated (I'm running Windows10) an unwanted theme ('Dark by Mozilla') keeps spontaneously installing itself over other chosen themes ('Charlie Brown Thanksgiving' and 'All Fall by MaDonna' so far). I cannot remove the 'Dark by Mozilla' theme. It spontaneously installs even when disabled, and over themes that are enabled. When 'Dark by Mozilla' enables itself, I cannot read anything in the menu bar or task bar, and I cannot tell my tabs apart. Please allow 'Dark by Mozilla' to be uninstalled. I've tried loading a screen shot but it won't finish loading the file. I've already tried restarts, and clearing my cache, and neither of these have helped.

Just a note to add that this seems to happen in conjunction with 'Colorful Tabs'. Which is a pain, because I use colorful tabs quite a bit. If I disable 'Colorful Tabs', it doesn't seem to happen quite as much, or it automatically flexes to 'Light' instead of 'Dark'. I don't like having addons and extensions that I didn't personally decide to add. Thank you.

Hello, perhaps try VivaldiFox as a workaround? It's a pretty cool add-on, and close to Colorful Tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vivaldifox/
