Is it possible to turn on dark mode in devtools without completely disabling RFP?

I sometimes need to test if a website I develop is working correctly in dark mode, but dark/light mode buttons doesn’t work in LibreWolf devtools. Is there a solution for this?

Librewolf turns on resist fingerprinting by default. If you go into about:config and disable resist fingerprinting, you can re enable light/dark mode preferences being recognized by the browser.

Or you could install the Dark Reader extension, but that will overwrite all CSS and approximate Dark Mode rather than use a customized CSS stylesheet.

Or you could install Vanilla Firefox and use that only to develop while you use Librewolf to privately browse, which is what I do.

I’ve been trying to figure out if there is a way to turn off just the part of RFP that blocks system-based light/dark mode, or bypass it somehow, on a site-by-site basis?

Now that I use LibreWolf instead of Firefox, maybe it would be good to have two “profiles” under about:profiles – one that follows system darkmode / light mode but is less fingerprint-resistant, and one for more private things.

Although otoh, I am pretty sure my browser is not very fingerprint resistant anyway, and I try to use TOR for any searches I don’t want linked to me… pretty annoying how some sites don’t work on TOR though :(
