Firefox is stuck in dark mode and its atrocious! I've gone to add ons and themes, disabled it and/or enabled some other background and it doesnt make any changes. Still stuck with dark mode and it makes it very hard to read and do my job. How do I get rid of this?!

Could be a problem with High Contrast Mode on Mac. See "New" in the release notes.

Firefox now automatically enables High Contrast Mode when "Increase Contrast" is checked on MacOS in the Accessibility settings.


Make sure you allow pages to choose their own colors.

  • Settings -> General: Fonts & Colors -> Colors: "Override the colors specified by the page with my selections above"

Try "Never" if the default "Only with High Contrast themes" isn't working.
