Topic: Dark Reader or similar add-on(extension) for Iceweasel-UXP

Dark Reader is a free and open source add-on for Firefox i don't know how to install it on Iceweasel-UXP.

If it is not supported on Iceweasel-UXP, please suggest some alternative or can you port Dark Reder onto Iceweasel-UXP.

No addon is needed - just set the colors for background , text, visited/unvisited links in the settings (preferences->content->colors) and select override colors to "always". You can also set the colors to match your system theme by selecting "use system colors" which is useful if you use a dark theme.

You can also alter web page appearance with user CSS (with this solution, however, you will not be able to change appearance with the click of a button like the add-on probably does).

Create a file called userContent.css in the chrome subfolder of your Iceweasel profile folder (create a folder called "chrome" if it doesn't already exist). Type your CSS in that file, save the file, and restart Iceweasel.

I use the following (which sets pages dark); you can use it as a template and just change the colors if you don't know CSS:

body, div, p, ol, ul, form, section, span {
    color: #808080 !important;
    background-color: #050B11 !important;
