Dark mode for preferences page

Additionally it'd be great if it could adapt automatically based on browser/system theme

It looks like this might be a bug in Firefox. The extension has the browser_style property set to true so the browser should color the page automatically. I'm not seeing a good way to fix this on the extension side so far but will keep on looking.

Yea, I think this is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1593355

Can't you do something like this https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/detecting-dark-theme-for-options-pages-in-webextension/43151/3 ?

I could use that to detect whether the theme uses dark mode. However, the issue is that the theme itself doesn't contain the right background color to use for the options page and even if I manually pick a color, a large chunk of the options page still stays white. I had described the issue in this SO question.

In light of these shortcomings, I'm leaning towards waiting for the fix in Firefox itself.
