Disabling dark mode
With a new update that came out a little bit ago, firefox decided to match themes and dark/light mode. I don't like this. I use the darkfox theme, but like light mode for everything.
I previously changed browser.theme.content-theme, which fixed the content, but not toolbars/popups/etc.
Today I found out about browser.theme.toolbar-theme and changed that, which did make everything else light mode (temporarily).
It seems that the changes in about:config are tied to the theme as well. Every time I close firefox, the changes revert. When I switched the theme from darkfox to the default light theme, it changed the preferences to light mode, and when I went back to darkfox it changed the preferences to dark mode.
On darkfox, the preferences are: browser.theme.content-theme 2 browser.theme.toolbar-theme 0
On the light theme, they are: browser.theme.content-theme 1 browser.theme.toolbar-theme 1
Is there some way to unlink theme and preferences, or otherwise lock these two specific preferences so firefox stops trying to match my theme and dark mode?

Try to enter 'about:config' in the URL bar and set layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override = 2 or 1.
You could try userChrome.css. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1364054#answer-1473397

So it only took me two weeks to respond -- boy, my work has been so busy that I haven't even had time to fix the most annoying thing that I see every time I turn on my computer.
Anyway, thanks for this, it helps in part. My menue bar (the one from the 3 little lines) is in light mode now, but my right-click menues are in dark, as is my history window still. Any further CSS things I could use to fix those? thanks!

Unfortunately, no change from this.
OK, try these. I am not using black on white but I have made those the colours. These don't affect the history window; perhaps ask about that on the FirefoxCSS sub on reddit. 'panelview' may also affect the 3 bar menu.
menupopup, panel {
--panel-background: White !important;
--panel-color: Black !important;
}
panelview {
--arrowpanel-background: White !important;
--arrowpanel-color: Black !important;
color: Black !important;
}

Getting closer! My right-click menues are light mode now. History window is still dark though.
As I said, you may have to ask on the reddit sub. I have never been able to find code for the library window in the time I have had available. The Browser Tool Box is supposed to help but it's a devil to use.

Yup, I'm asking the reddit now. Hopefully I can get something good.
