How do I set the Firefox version 157.0 home page to be Light?

shirley.stensland

During a recent upgrade, the Appearance defaulted to Dark. I hate dark web pages! Yes, I went to Settings > Appearance > Themes and selected Light. When I open a new page, it is light, but the Firefox home page is still dark. I want the Firefox home page to be white background with black text. How can I make that happen?

The default Home follows content appearance settings, so if sites are light, the home tab should be too.

Besides the "Theme" switch, there's also the "Appearance" options to verify everything is set to the expected option:

Thanks, jbr. Unfortunately, even though Appearance says Light, all of the Firefox toolbars and the home page are still dark. I also expected all of the tabs in Firefox would come into the Light, but not so. Is there a CSS setting somewhere that can be tweaked?

Can you verify in a separate new Profile and attach some screenshots of how your OS theme is set, and how the Firefox window +home look like with both of the content and theme tint settings shown? Thanks.

  2. about:addons
  3. and on about:home what the "Customize" panel is showing

If you have any accessibility adjustments set on your Windows–level, like increased contrast and the like, it's also worth mentioning.
