Firefox's own Dark Mode setting not honoured by AMO - blindingly bright background

[Jackalaq]

As description. Dark Mode is selected in Settings and even with Dark Reader AddOn installed, the page is disturbingly bright.

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.
