A way for sites to have transparent backgrounds when browser.tabs.allow_transparent_browser is set to true

Making moves

(I submitted this idea in the ideas section, but quickly realize it would probably have been better to post it here, and idk how to delete the idea I submitted, so it's too late for that)

To explain what exactly I want. I want it so that websites can set a transparent background, and so it will be transparent, *without having to further change your userChrome*. My current thought is that this could be achieved through making the background transparent instead of the usual background, when you turn on browser.tabs.allow_transparent_browser, however, that might be problematic to some existing websites or things like that (if they forgot to / didn't set a background color).

I have no idea how one would implement such a thing, and as such, this is more of a question than an actual suggestion.

The reason I want this is so that transparent parts of websites (transparent in the sense of being able to see your desktop/etc) would be easier to make accessible.

If someone has an idea of how to implement something like this without any changes to firefox, please let me know.
