User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start TB Daily
2. Select Tools > Developer Tools > Developer Tools
3. Select "..."
4. Select "Settings"
5. Set "Theme" to "Dark Mode"
6. Close Developer Tools
7. Select Tools > Developer Tools > Error Console

Actual results:

Error Console displays with black text on a white background.

Expected results:

It would be nice if Error Console checked the Theme settings in Developer Tools and used the applicable screen colors (for Dark Mode, white text on black).

The devtools toolbox uses it's own profile. The Error console runs with the TB profile. When you want a dark Error console you need to go to the prefs > General and click on "Config Esitor..." In this editor search for devtools.theme and change it to "dark".

Should we hook up theme switching to change that pref as well?

In FX this does also not change with the FX theme. And the Browser Toolbox is also independent from Web Developer Tools. The only difference is that we have no Web Developer Tools where the colour setting can be done. On TB it's only possible through the Config Editor.
