Firefox Android Dark Theme for UI only (without making webpages dark)?

Whenever I choose the Dark Theme for the app's user interface (Options > Customize > Theme: Dark), it also changes all the webpages I view making them dark as well, which I don't want, and didn't ask for.

How do I prevent this from happening while still maintaining the dark theme for the app itself?

Hi

The first theme choice is linked to the appearance setting for Firefox for Android - either light or dark - which theme web pages. If you choose a darker theme (which I appreciate may not be as dark as you like), this should not happen.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply to my question. However, your answer is very confusing and unclear to me. What exactly do you mean by "the first theme choice" ? There is only one section for selecting a theme (Options > Customize > Theme), in which there are three options: Light, Dark, Follow device theme.

What do you mean by choosing a "darker theme" ? There is only one "Dark" choice under the "Theme" section. Choosing a "darker theme" implies there's different variations of dark themes to choose from, which is not the case. So what exactly did you mean by this?

When did I say that the dark theme was not as dark as I would like? I never said this. I said I don't want a dark theme applied to actual webpages that I visit. I only want the app itself to have a dark theme (i.e. the User Interface [UI] ).
