by akiha, 6 years ago[Edit] Firefox 66.0.4 has fixed the certificate issue.
For those having issues with Firefox add-ons not working properly at this time type (this temporary measure) in the address bar "about:debugging" this will open up the window for you to manually add the add-on yourself via "Load Temporary Add-on" button. Make sure when you go on the Firefox official add-on page to NOT click on it as you'd normally do but to right-click > "Save Link As" > It should save the XPI file to your computer > Now simply go back to the window Debug tab and install it yourself until Firefox fixes the issue and also note unless you have to don't close the browser as you may have to redo the steps above.
For those who want to use your already installed add-on if it's in the default go to the following folder, C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[name].default\extensions and look for the .xpi files. The [name] is whatever the profile folder is named after (usually its random) so copy/paste up to "Profiles". Share this to any other Firefox user having the same issue.
Linux users: /home/[yourusername]/.mozilla/firefox/[name].default
First instance of the [] replace it with first your user name and the 2nd instance may be random so you will have to find out what the name is. If further issues see this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Linux
Also the above link is useful for MAC users.
Caution! The new Firefox temp fix may be a chance for Mozilla to gather telemetry. If this is an issue with you stick to the above method.
By the way I love this add-on. It makes it easy on my eyes even during the day. Tho some sites (or video players) don't like the add-on that's what the flip of the switch is for. Very simple and easy.

- Rated 3 out of 5by robomatic, 14 days agoNot bad, but needs some work.
The on/off switch is global which is not ideal, it should be site-based.
Editing the Include/exclude list is too much work, it should be done automatically via the main switch.
The settings are available from the 3-dot menu next to the addon toggle in the Addon page (Cmd+Shift+A). They're not straight forward though.
The Dark styles should be more easily accessible from the main addon button, and they should be editable.
"Dark mode simple 1" seems to work better than the default mode but if only there was a way to edit the background color to 10% brightness (dark grey).
Hopeully it will get better.
Cheers! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 10917032, 21 days agoSwitch on each time on each site separately or make it automatic and then see awful invert of already dark by default pages. Not handy.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Marty, 2 months agoI had to downgrade to 0.4.5 because this version works much better for me, even though I have the latest version of Firefox. In 0.53 I had difficulties on Amazon, Wikimedia and DeepL. For example, the Wikimedia page was displayed brightly in 0.53, but this was not the case until 0.4.5. In version 0.4.5 everything works again for me as I am used to. I wonder for how long, because there are constant Firefox updates and at some point version 0.4.5 will stop working. If it is updated again to 0.53 I will try to install 0.4.5 again.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Darkver, 3 months agoRecently it broke reCaptcha and cloudflare captcha check, makes absolutely no sense.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15542111, 3 months agodark mode toolbar button cannot be found, will not sync across devices. big waste of time to try to find any information on how to make it sync or even how to make it appear on the toolbar. not consistent, thus useless.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13325315, 3 months agoDo you also offer configuration seminars to configure the extension?
Wouldn't one have been able to define the basic setting for the new version in such a way that the expansion will at least continue to work as before?
It no longer works here because I don't understand all the new options. I am a user and not a developer!
Already in the previous version I didn't understand everything, but at least the necessary and could simply leave the others as they were.
I went to the old version and stopped the automatic update. Hence one star deduction. - Rated 5 out of 5by LaoCZ, 3 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by z0z0, 3 months agoDO NOT DOWNLOAD. FIND SOMETHING ELSE BY SOMEONE ELSE!!!!!!
Don't get it, it breaks most websites, there is no way to whitelist websites so it doesn't touch them, opening images in a new tab gets broken, key logging(beware), hasn't seen an update since it was released. Mozilla should just remove this add-on all together. developer is also inactive and does not give or provide support. DO NOT DOWNLOAD. FIND SOMETHING ELSE BY SOMEONE ELSE!!!!!! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14479049, 3 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Greg McChadwick, 3 months agoJust recently, right-clicking on an image and "Open Image in New Tab" fails to open up an image. Turning off this extension solves this problem, so it's very likely Dark Mode.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18589179, 4 months agoOverall a great extension that allows me to read web pages far easier. I have only run into one issue. RealClearPolictics does not render properly when dark mode is active. The heading collapses down on some links until I turn DM off and refresh. It may be an issue with the website and not with DarkMode.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Rae, 9 months agoLove this so far! Reddit is mostly better! Although the text shows up pretty dark in the comment sections which makes it hard to read. :( Some subreddits are way worse than others too. Still amazing add on though!!
