I customized my default colors to a dark background and a light text color.
Unfortunately many websites expect a white background and set only the font
color what in unreadable texts results.  On the other hand I won't miss all the
nice webdesignes by setting my prefs to ignore the web pages colors.

What I need is a quick way to switch between "use my own colors, ignore the web
page" and "use the colors of the web page".

Confirming enhancement. I couldn't find a dupe for this, and as far as I can
tell the feature does not currently exist.

You're not going to like this, but you could set up some user style sheets and
then use Alt+V U and then a letter for the style sheet you want. I realize
that's too hacky for most users.

It would be cool to have a toggle for it, but then I think we'd need something
in the view menu instead of appearance prefs.

See also Bug 348739 -  Preferences option for "minimum text contrast". 
Some websites are hard to read due to low contrast of the text. It would be nice to have a menu option with shortcut key to increase the contrast. This could be by setting the colors to the user-defined colors.
