Dark theme for mozilla.org and addons.mozilla.org

[scalebearer]

There should be a dark theme for mozilla.org and addons.mozilla.org.

The latter is particularly important, since it is a protected page and addons like Dark Reader cannot touch it.

If you're worried about wasting developer time on designing this from scratch, you could cheat by using the Dark Reader npm library. There is an option to export the autogenerated CSS as a string (exportGeneratedCSS). You could use this as a starting point and modify/correct any of the mistakes the Dark Reader algorithms made.

Bonus points if you can make the light/dark themes switch based on prefers-color-scheme so it matches OS/browser theme settings.

Mozilla's polic[e]y on security is likely forcing the hand on this one, right? To not allow extensions to affect it... It's also like that on the android homepage - my extensions can't alter it.

I don't know why though... A fully customizable, everything removable browser wouldn't be less secure. It may seem ego defacing to allow logos to be removed, for example - but it's precisely that thing that would make me look up who the genius is behind such a decision.

I like the tools to be nameless. Then the users become the highlight. It's about the dancers, not the DJ.
