Firefox's own Dark Mode setting not honoured by AMO - blindingly bright background
As description. Dark Mode is selected in Settings and even with Dark Reader AddOn installed, the page is disturbingly bright.
Firefox for Linux Mint
Version 115

At least the about:addons UI does follow Firefox's automatic light/dark system theme; it would make a lot of sense for the addons.mozilla.org website to follow suit.
Extensions do not run on AMO, for security reasons. And AMO doesn't have a dark mode style for the moment.
I think the OP mentioning the "Dark Reader add-on" was a mistake (i.e.: the key word was "even with"), and they probably primarily intended (as I did) this ticket to be a request for AMO to have a dark mode style, that would get activated by the browser's native prefers-color-scheme: dark; transmission mechanism for the OS' dark mode.
Is this the correct issue tracker for stylesheet issues of AMO? (I presume I landed here because I couldn't find this in Bugzilla)
I agree this is a valid issue. (edit: and I've transferred it to a more fitting place but this was the right place to file it, thanks!)
The year is 2024, why does mozilla block the most basic of accessibility options, choosing instead a path of able-bodied supremacism, and white supremacism? Vision sensitivity isn't an obscure issue, does mozilla even have a dev team? Heres an example of how to honor user accessibility preferences with just a few lines of code, happy to assist with implementation: https://github.com/i1li/i1li.github.io/blob/ed2f57e824a8ad15dba59b5c4217dd06f9e1a8b2/js/script.js#L35
AMO team is small and we have a limited bandwidth, we simply can't do everything. The good news is that this is open-source, so if you want to contribute a patch, feel free to submit a pull request over at https://github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend/pulls.
@diox "The good news is that this is open-source," is a cop out. What happens when I submit a patch that is the code as it currently stands with background=black and text=white? Will it be accepted or will you just deny the patch of the disabled person just trying get by day to day
The previous commenter said they were happy to assist, so my reply was me trying to take them up on their offer.
I would gladly review a patch that implements this. It's not trivial however, there is a lot more than just one color to change. If someone really wants to give it a try rather than posting more sarcastic or aggressive comments, I have a WIP branch (that I worked on during my personal time, btw, because I do care about this issue) that could be used as a starting point.
@diox Hey sorry for being a dick I was in the middle of a migraine exacerbated by this issue. It's difficult to remain civil when it feels like someone is pushing an ice pick into the front of your skull. I am working with a therapist. I am not trying to excuse anything but I was wanting to have something to say for myself other than "sorry I am a dick"
