Description
Describe the bug
When first loading the browser (Firefox), the vomnibar flashes white as it switches from light to dark mode (my custom css).
This might happen, because the CSS for the vomnibar doesn't load the css quick enough?
The rest of the HUD and the link-hints don't have any problems with this. They apply the right styling right away.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open Firefox with custom css loaded
- Open vomnibar
Include a screenshot if applicable.

Browser and Vimium version

Vimium: Version 1.66
Firefox: Version 86.0.1

Research direction
Start by reproducing the flash in Firefox with the linked custom CSS, opening the vomnibar as described. Compare its styling load timing with the HUD and link-hints, then trace the vomnibar entry point and related styles. Done means the vomnibar opens directly with the custom dark styling without a white flash.
