Yes

Feature Request Description

LibreWolf by default uses resistFingerPrinting which means that no matter what the prefers-color-scheme is set to in settings, it doesn't save properly. I am requesting that at the least darkreader readed the setting in librewolf and uses it for "detect dark theme" because it seems to not work. Ideally, reading the setting and giving it to users so that native dark modes work when applicable.

As far as I know:

Dark Reader does not read this CSS media element. It is only read by sites.

Dark Reader could read prefers-colors-scheme from the Firefox pref itself, but even then, it wouldn't make much sense.

Think of that: if Dark Reader can read the preference, but the site cannot, then Dark Reader will read the preference as prefers-color-scheme: dark, but the site will not, so the site will be shown in light theme, and Dark Reader would deactivate itself due to reading the preference as dark, so we would end up with a light site.
