Where is the dark reader function your using? Screenshot of it's location and how are you getting to that feature.

for one thing i can hardly see what i am typing because, although i have Dark Reader turned on, it isn't functioning for this process, ie asking a question? ALSO it does seem highly ironic that it doesn't work here!

It may be due to this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/quarantined-domains

You can style the support.mozilla.org site with userContent.css as I do have a old one that still kind of works here despite site format changes over the many years though I do not use it. It would be nice if they had a dark theme option here though that may not happen for time being due to " https://github.com/mozilla/protocol/issues/647 - No support for dark mode #647"
