Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Unlike the G4 version, which always send a light theme preference into the browser fingerprint, the G5b1 set it according to the browser theme. In my case it's a issue (I looking for a dark waterfox UI while asking the website to be displayed on a light theme).

Describe the solution you'd like It will be great to get a extra option under website appearance for choose which theme preference is send on the fingerprint.

Describe alternatives you've considered I tried to block the fingerprint reading (with privacy.resistFingerprinting => true) but it introduce severe scrolling lag, it make it unusable.

Additional context The add-on which affect the website theme like dark reader can't work properly while some site are displayed in their dark theme version.

Is Settings > General > Language and Appearance > Website appearance what you want?

I want to get the dark interface in waterfox about: page but the light version on the other site (like duckduckgo.com). In G5, it's only possible to get both on light or dark theme.

If I set privacy.resistFingerprinting on true, it's possible to get dark waterfox about: page with duckduckgo page on light but it introduce a heavy scrolling lag.

The add-on "dark mode website switcher" solve partially this issue.
