Dark Mode

Adds a dark screen over everything rather than other high contrast "Dark mode" extensions

What is Dark Mode?
"Dark Mode" is a Firefox extension that overlays a dark, translucent screen on top of your browsing pages. Unlike other extensions that rely on high contrast and disrupt the aesthetic appeal of websites, Dark Mode does not interfere with the sites' original styling. Ideal for night or low-light browsing, it introduces a more comfortable view without changing any web elements.

Clever one to fix compatibility issues with some pages. Would be 5 stars if it would work for all open firefox windows: if I click it in the second window only the first window gets dark.
