When you visit a website, its appearance changes to match your browser's theme. If you set a light theme for Firefox in your browser's preferences and then set a dark theme from the colorways palette, colorways will override the light theme and the websites appearance will adjust to match the new dark theme.
You can configure this behavior and choose the color scheme you would like to use for those websites. To access these settings, follow the steps below:
You can choose from these color schemes:
Some themes are developed to match light and dark schemes only. In these cases, the appearance of the websites will adjust to match your Firefox theme. However, since most
colorways themesare not developed to match light or dark schemes specifically, when you select such colorways, the appearance of websites will adjust to match the color scheme of your operating system.
Common questions What is the difference between the operating system's appearance, website appearance and browser themes?No. You can decide if you want the website appearance to match your Firefox theme, colorway, or operating system. These settings will not change regardless of the colorway or browser theme you select.
What happens if I select custom colors in my preferences?You can also configure website appearance in the ColorsContrast Control section under Language and Appearance (see Change the fonts and colors websites use for details). Here you can configure elements such as the text color and background of a website. Some changes you make in this section may override your Language and Appearance settings. If this is the case, a warning notification will alert you of these changes.
This warning notification will only appear in the following cases:
High Contrast mode helps to reduce visual fatigue. For this reason, changes to website appearance or custom color settings will not affect the browser when High Contrast mode is enabled, except in the situations described above.
Why does Firefox apply my selection of Dark to internal pages, but websites always apply Light?This can be caused by enabling the privacy.resistFingerprinting preference in the Advanced Configuration Editor. This feature reduces the ability of sites to detect some less common settings so that your browser appears to be less unique, but as a result, some site customization features can't work as intended. For more information, see Firefox's protection against fingerprinting.
