Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:75.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/75.0

Steps to reproduce:

  • Use Firefox Default scheme which adapts to the OS scheme
  • Dark system color scheme
  • Open new tab

Actual results:

Even though Firefox detects the Dark system color scheme correctly and is completely dark, the new tab page is still bright. If I manually switch to the Dark Theme, the new tab page turns dark as well.

Expected results:

New Tab page should be dark

Priority: -- → P2
Severity: normal → S3

I believe this works now, at least testing it on my end seems to work.

I had to set "system theme" in themes, and "automatic" in "Website appearance" in about:preferences#general, but it worked.

I also am using Linux to set my system theme to dark/light, but I doubt the OS matters here.
