Mozilla refuses to fix this in any way, it is allegedly "by design" that you have to disable all RFP protection if you're a web dev and need to test the dark color scheme of your website. 2. Similarly, RFP always vends your timezone as UTC with no way to change.

- cmeacham98 4y agoMozilla refuses to add _any_ toggle to disable RFP's control over features it touches, including even an about:config entry. See example bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535189 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535189 My "fix" for this involves using a janky old version of an addon that attempts to muck with the CSS/JS to reproduce the effect.
