Dark Mode on Unwanted Websites

Before I made Firefox my default browser, I used private browsing on Firefox with dark mode enabled and was able to have the address bar/tabs/toolbar dark while all other websites I used were still in their default mode (for example, Twitter would always come up in light mode). After I changed Firefox to my default browser (or possibly after an update?), whenever I pull up Twitter, Google, YouTube, etc., they come up in dark mode instead of the default. Is there a way to keep the address bar in dark mode while still pulling up websites in light mode/default settings without having to manually change it every time?
