I installed DarkReader and tried it out. However didn't like the experience and removed it. Now some websites which were enabled by DarkReader are partially black (not dark not light). No matter what I try it is displayed like that. I tried: 1. Reset Firefox cache 2. Reboot the system

The webpage is loading fine in other browsers like Safari or chrome. Looks like Dark Reader messed up something and removing it didn't reset the state for these websites.

Is this a FireFox theme?

No, it is an add on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/darkreader

You could try the help site or help email mentioned on that page. If you still have the extension settings in your profile you could try removing or renaming them.
