firefox-dark-theme-fix

a.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437366 which was a superficially similar, but not at all the same issue, and which I fixed back in 2009. (And yes, I have thought about this problem space quite a bit in the past, though not necessarily the Linux-specific bits.) > Or this one? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70315#c36 That says "stop doing native theming". > Or this one? https://github.com/lightradius/firefox-dark-theme-fix That's a set of CSS rules that disables native theming. > Or this one? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70315#c45 This comment is about the Firefox UI, not web pages. > Or this one? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70315#c46 This one is actually useful, thank you. Following the links from there lands me at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1283086#c13 from one of the RedHat folks who have been active in this stuff. Note that this comment says that Firefox tries to avoid using dark themes for form controls, but some dark themes fail to properly flag themselves as dark themes. Which makes it hard to avoid them. Also, can you stop pretending like no one has worked on this? Given https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1353147 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1158076 it sure looks like people have been active here. > Or this one? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1461538#c9 Karl is an engineer on Firefox, working on GTK integration. If he felt that his comment were the right fix, it would be in the tree. > In what crazy world is it considered good design practice to force thousands of your users to install 3rd party extensions to be able to read text on the internet? In a world where all the proposals for fixing that so far make millions of users unhappy?

that were opened independently. Granted, some of them are dumb (the patch that hard-codes "Adwaita-dark" as a trigger seems particularly bad) but there is no excuse for this to still be around, 18 years later, despite all of the proposals and patches that have been sent to fix it. There are multiple firefox extensions out there that fix the bug, and they are very popular, with thousands of users each. In what crazy world is it considered good design practice to force thousands of your users to install 3rd party extensions to be able to read text on the internet?
