In macOS (Tahoe), how to get Firefox to follow system dark/light settings that INCLUDE the web pages themselves?

macOS Tahoe, Firefox 152.0.3 macOS settings include "Appearance - Auto"; i.e. system switches from light to dark at sunset. While the "top area" (tabs, address bar, bookm… (read more)

macOS Tahoe, Firefox 152.0.3 macOS settings include "Appearance - Auto"; i.e. system switches from light to dark at sunset. While the "top area" (tabs, address bar, bookmarks bar) of Firefox follows this - some of the pages themselves do NOT???

I found this website which was at top of the search results. I tried to follow it, but it seems to be badly outdated in certain key respects: esp wrt a setting called "ui.systemUsesDarkTheme" in about:config. I set this to "True", but may have screwed this up!! First question: Should I "reset" this somehow?

Finally: To get at the primary question, there are two "sub-questions" that may explain my confusion more clearly:

1. Is there no ***simple way*** to get Firefox & webpages I view to follow macOS Light/Dark appearance?? What are the CORRECT steps?

2. Do individual webpages have the ability to "decide for themselves" whether or not they will adhere to the system light/dark settings. This may well be an officially "stupid question", but while "most" webpages remain "Light" (including this Support page), a few pages appear dark.

Thanks, ~S

Since updating to 152.0.3 I am no longer receiving bills from my water company; electric company and natural gas company as well as the payment confirmation emails from these companies. I've checked my spam filters (I use earthlink.net) and blocked sender addresses and they are not on these lists, in fact they are in my contact/address book. I've called the utilities and they have confirmed that the email bill was sent to my email address

I am receiving all other emails that I know of. It seems to be website generated em.ails?

I am using Mac OS 12.7.6

Firefox Sidebar Still Displays "Le Chat" Instead of "Vibe"

I noticed that Mistral’s AI assistant was rebranded from "Le Chat" to "Vibe" in May 2026. However, the Firefox sidebar integration still refers to it as "Le Chat," even after recent browser updates. There is obviously no coordination between Mistral and Mozilla, and vice versa...I use Vibe daily and am starting to find this anomaly a little bit annoying. It simply looks sloppy.

Youtube videos will open but the red line that dances across the top of the page stops at some point and the video will not open. This is happening to all videos, I am relying on Safari to conduct all my business. This annoying since I have never touched settings nor tweeked any buttons, this seems to be a choice of Firefox.
