Description

Firefox's default theme switches between light and dark depending on the user's system. On Linux, this is through org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme. It would be nice to have this functionality in this theme as well, switching between e.g. latte and mocha.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the Firefox theme currently selects between latte and mocha, then investigate Firefox's access to Linux's org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme setting. Done means the theme follows the user's system light/dark preference and switches between the corresponding palettes.
