@TURK : Thanks SO much for this post

Just installed DarkReader FF Extension, "...and Loving It!!!"

Game-Changer for me!

Thanks for the thread

FF Question:

Is there a way to get the FF "New Tab" window to show-up in dark mode?

When I open a New Tab to see all of my shortcuts, there's NO dark mode, even though DarkReader is enabled ("ON") for the new tab.

Maybe FF doesn't allow Dark Reader to work when opening a new tab?

Here's a screenshot:

It doesn't. Settings > Extensions & Themes > Themes > Dark > Enable. You can also look up how to set user.js for very specific customizations.

@DukeComposed :

Before reading your answer, I saw that DarkReader shows for the FF "New Tab" , at the top and to the left of the "On" button in D.R., "This page is protected by browser".

I just implemented your solution within FF Settings.

Awesome, and Thanks

Added benefit of FF Dark Theme in conjunction with Dark Reader:

Without the FF Dark Theme, just using Dark Reader for a website, when navigating on a website, by updating the page (choosing something on the page, or "next page", for example), there was an annoying flash, where for a brief instant, I could see the bright website page, before it turned dark (presumably by Dark Reader's "magic").

Anyway, using the FF Dark Theme has removed that flashing, or reduced the time of the flash to a negligible level, that it doesn't register on these old and tired eyeballs

(Note the sunglasses )

Most forums that use the same software as the MX Forums seem to be able to offer a dark theme that works natively (see the Acid Tech theme option on Debian Forums). IMHO, all the browser driven 'solutions' work sub-optimally. As for why it is such a big deal here to offer a theme that better supports old eyes, I have no idea,

So glad that a mere question helped out another forum member ................... I guess that's what we're all here for, to help one another

As a side note; I know that YouTube already has a Dark Theme as an option, but I like what 'DarkReader' has done to the 'Comments' section of YouTube. Each and every comment is now clearly separated into it's own little 'Card'. Makes the comments sections so much easier to read. Love it!

Yes indeed .............. totally agree.
That's why I asked to question in the first place.

Not just 'Old eyes' manyroads .................... but people who ware glasses!
I ware glasses, and for those individuals who don't, they wouldn't believe just how bright a white ( or even an off-white ) screen can be.
