> I did a small survey and only very few websites have developed a second dark theme: https://zimbatm.com/DarkMode Add YouTube to this list, it's got a pretty good dark theme that can be easily enabled now.
They have a dark mode but it’s activated with a toggle in the interface, and not with the prefers-color-scheme media query.

Multi-Account Containers is good for that.
Containers are overkill when you just want to do this as a one-off.

In both private and not-private windows, the browser asks the user whether to save each password. Nothing is saved unless you explicitly click the Save button.
Ok, but I think the parent is wondering in what situation you'd want to store in the browser details of a site you'd visited, but still use private mode to "hide" that you'd visited? What data does the password use retain? IIRC password store retains the "time first used, time last used" and displays that visibly. In short what's the use-case or user story that fits this feature?
Chrome's session and tab management on both desktop and mobile are abysmal. Whilst I've nuked it from desktop, I cannot remove it from Android. And, sadly, Firefox performance there still lags badly.
I browse almost exclusively in incognity on Chrome/Android.

Have you used the Dark Reader addon? It's not amazing in firefox (has major performance issues on some sites) but I can't live without it.
Have you tried simply using Stylus with a custom style? I've been pretty happy with the setup. No performance issues.

CRTs consume so much power that the beam current is negligible. The comparison is with backlit LCD screens, which have to have the backlight on regardless of how many black pixels you have.
Actually traditional tft displays need to apply a current to turn a pixel black, so if you don't use adaptive brightness that would dim the backlight if the display is mostly black, you actually consume more power with a black theme. I have a low power Pentium notebook with 15" led backlit screen and the difference between a terminal with black or white background is significant.
How significant? Turn the screen black, and show the remaining battery time estimate. Turn it white, do the same. I'm curious.
> "Enable FIDO U2F API, and permit registrations for Google Accounts" Oh! Didn't expect that! Does this mean YubiKeys will now be working in GMail on Firefox? Together with all the other stuff, this starts to look like a really important and major release of Firefox.
This is an anti-feature. Firefox enabled a deprecated standard because Google couldn't be bothered to move to the current standard. Classic catering to the big players.
I'm not upset they did this though; if's the unfortunate truth that FF user's would prefer a working key than for Mozilla to follow the standards. When you can't login, "it's not standards compliant" isn't much of a consolation.

BTW, cheap-ass dark mode can be made by: filter: invert(95%) hue-rotate(190deg) on and perhaps fiddling with some backgrounds, to avoid transparency.
I'm curious, why 190deg and not 180deg ?
Made a quick demo showing the difference: https://output.jsbin.com/hujebimavu/1
I don't really see any difference between 180 and 190 though.
> We have seen great growth in the use of AV1 even in just a few months, with our latest figures showing that 11.8% of video playback in Firefox Where are people playing AV1 videos? YouTube released an AV1 playlist long ago, and haven't added a single video since release: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyqf6gJt7KuHBmeVzZteZ... Besides that, I've only seen a few in the wild.
Youtube has more AV1 videos than that playlist. My fav Youtuber has AV1 videos in 720p and it's not a huge channel.

Dark mode, for the first time ever, has legitimate, objective reasons to want, now that we have pure LED displays: a black LED pixel consumes no energy.
That was also the case with CRT displays. If a pixel is to stay black, no electron must be emitted to light up its phosphor. This Google search frontend has been around long enough to claim it helped save considerable amount of energy on that principle: http://www.blackle.com/about/ What they report about LEDs and CCFL isn't entirely correct, however. It may become in the future. Technicalities aside, what once could…

Which sites? They actively pursue compatibility issues but it's pretty rare to see non-Google sites which only work in Chrome.
it's pretty rare to see non-Google sites which only work in Chrome. Unfortunately that hasn't been my experience in recent months. A noticeable number of random sites I come across, sometimes including quite important ones, Just Don't Work in Firefox. Is there a quick way to send a link to such sites/pages, if someone at Mozilla is interested in investigating why? I think it's important to note that this behaviour is…
