Since I have been using Firefox Android from S7 Edge to this S23+ it will not follow system settings for dark mode. If I set it to light mode it's always in light mode. if I set it to dark mode it stays in dark mode, no matter what the system setting.

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestion, but I have all my apps in the Play Store on Auto Update. I'm currently running version 130.0.1 (Build #2016044751) of Firefox for Android.

My phone is also at the most recent versions of updates available.

Some websites do not have a dark mode. For this, you can install an extension like Dark Reader, that will force these sites to display in dark.

Hi Khalid,

I appreciate your suggestion. The issue here is when I have my phone in Dark Mode, and the Firefox Android app set to Customize, Theme, Follow device theme, in Settings, when I open the browser it should be in Dark Mode and it is not.

Thank you for your reply! Ezrway

If that doesn't work, you can set it to dark mode in Firefox instead of Follow device theme.
