Open up about:config and go to layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override and set it to one of the following:

0 => Force a Dark background

1 => Force a Light background

2 => Follow the System theme (default in Firefox 94)

3 => Follow the Browser toolbar theme (default in Firefox 95+)

Just looks like this for me

Just need a well lit room for light mode and at least the white of the background bleeds into black text making it grey rather than the blurry mess of white on black.

I have astigmatism too and for me it looks just as bad when inverted, a blurry mess of black on white.

To me, what makes one a better choice vs the other has more to do with my environmental lighting.

  • If I'm on a place with a lot of light, the screen being black makes it have reflections so I prefer black on white in those cases.
  • If I'm in a dark place, the bright screen makes the screen itself the primary source of light which is not good for my eyesight, it can make my eyes feel like burning/tired after a while.
