Resist fingerprinting blocks the dark pdf mode in Firedragon

Feedback

Don't know exactly where to put this so I'll put it here.
In Firedragon (which built off of firefox) there is a dark pdf reader mode. I've used it on firefox for a while and it generally matches your system theme. However, it did not work with firedragon on garuda.
I did some digging and found that the privacy.resistFingerprinting was to blame.

I don't know if this is reproducible on others' machines, but if you are getting a blinding white pdf reader when opening pdfs in firefox you can set privacy.resistFingerprinting to false.

Welcome to the forum! :grin:
This value is actually a quite important one as it enables a lot of features:

Perhaps a different pdf reader may help?

Which reader are you using?
