I have a launcher on my android (pixel os 7.0) that makes the notification/status bar at the top of my phone transparent. Older firefox always respected this transparency and did not change it. I updated today to v57 and now the annoying bright WHITE status bar is back when I use firefox. But only if I am looking at a website. If I pull up settings or any other menu in firefox it will use the transparency or at least stay dark. I have a serious light sensitivity and I require my phone to be as dim as possible. Please fix this broken feature.

I, too, found the white bar to cause eye strain pretty quickly. At the very least, a light/dark theme toggle (like there is for the reader view, though I'm not sure if there is a more easily accessible toggle for that than going into the about:config page) would be useful even for people for whom the bright white background isn't usually a problem in order to allow the phone to produce less light in dark environments where that would be disruptive.
