2005889 - Firefox homepage changed color scheme with dark Firefox theme and light color scheme for websites

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Sören Hentzschel]

STR:

1. Use the dark Firefox theme
2. Use the light color scheme for websites
3. open the default Firefox home page (about:newtab)

Actual:

The background of about:newtab has a light color.

Expected:

The background of about:newtab has a dark color.

Additional information:

I think there are definitely arguments as to why the new behavior might make more sense than the old one (if you consider about:newtab more of a website than a part of browser interface). So perhaps this is a WONTFIX. On the other hand, I don't read anything in bug 1993056 that indicates an intentional change. That's why I created this ticket on suspicion, just to make sure that Firefox still behaves as desired.

It's a wontfix in the sense that we used to explicitly theme the newtab page and now we don't. So this seems pretty expected. Thanks for filing tho.
