FIrefox 95.0 forced dark mode

After the last update to version 95.0 all websites such as github.com changed to dark mode. I am using the dark theme but I still don't want to use dark mode on websites. Is there any way to use the dark theme without using dark mode.

Thanks in advance!

Chosen solution

If you want to have different color scheme preference for FF UI and sites, you can change "layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override" in 'about:config' to: 

  Dark (0), light (1), system (2) or browser (3)

For 94 default was 2, in version 95 it is 3. You can either fallback to 2 or just use 0/1 to change color preference for sites.
