Details

I browse the web with browser.display.document_color_use=2 enabled and a dark colour scheme as otherwise the web content displayed in the Firefox web browser really clashes with my dark desktop colour scheme. I have noticed before that this also affects about:preferences and other about:* pages but those usually work fine in this mode. With XUL extensions, they ran in the browser context so most of them were not affected by this preference. Unfortunately with the transition to WebExtensions, many of the extensions (such as uMatrix) I rely on use colours to indicate different things and are now completely unusable because this preference appears to apply to the WebExt popup context and moz-extension:// pages. It would be nice if there was a way to have separate colours apply to about:* pages and WebExtension popups and pages.

Product: Firefox → Core

Still reproducible on firefox release 94.0.1 using windows10

This is by design. It affects all content pages. Now the content should match the preferred color scheme if you use system colors tho.
