The fact that Firefox cannot handle dark desktop themes was reported many times FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS.
Seventeen years. And still an issue. Webpages display partly in system colors causing white on white or black on black text/form elements, while parts of the Firefox UI defy every dark theme and stay eye-bruning white. I hoped that finally Quantum will fix this... but it MADE IT WORSE! Now several parts of the FF GUI have white on white checkboxes or disabled text, and everything in settings is blazing white as well as new tab page. All you need to do to fix the websites is to use the widespread defaults instead of system colors to render webpages. color:black; background-color:white; DONE. But you can't do this for 17 years for reasons beyond comprehension. WORKS in Chrome (USES GTK TOO!) WORKS in Internet Explorer WORKS in Microsoft Edge WORKS in pretty much EVERYTHING other than Firefox.
