Privileged pages do this automatically via:

https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/aa8c75b83f636948f708986173965c84cae8c25f/widget/nsXPLookAndFeel.cpp#1179-1183

So this makes everything more consistent. Known exceptions:

  • Pocket panels (as those don't seem to support dark mode)
  • about:reader (because it has its own dark mode handling)

This does not seem to block any functionality. So setting severity to S4.

Severity: -- → S4
Priority: -- → P3

This should have roughly the same effect as the meta tag, and all these
pages support dark mode. The meta tag still has its merits (it allows us
to conceptually paint a dark background sooner to avoid flashing white).

I'd still prefer to keep the meta tag but this might be a simpler fix.
