Steps to reproduce:
Read an article that alternates between text paragraphs and photos, with reader mode in dark mode.
Actual results:
The photos are usually big and bright, blinding you at night as they appear in the view while scrolling.
Expected results:
They should probably use this CSS filter trick (lower brightness, higher contrast?) : https://css-tricks.com/a-complete-guide-to-dark-mode-on-the-web/#aa-dark-mode-images
...at least when not hovered by the mouse and not scrolling. I guess if the mouse moves to hover over them (and not as a result of simply scrolling with the scrollwheel/touchpad), then the filter could transition to regular colors, until they get hovered out again.

For testing purposes, here are some examples of articles with multiple photos that show up in reader mode, most of which are high-key (bright) photography:

Reproduced the issue with Firefox 119.0a1 (2023-09-08) on Windows 10x64 by following the steps from comment 0 and examples from comment 1. The brightness is very high when using Reader view with dark mode.
The photos have a lower brightness with Firefox 123.0b2 on Windows 10x64, macOS 12 and Ubuntu 20.
