I need that function that like click on the extension icon with the mouse wheel, it turns on/off "Activate for this site". --- And for the "list of ignored websites" to synchronize between Linux and Windows, because it doesn't exist now. --- Oh, and also "disable on known dark mode sites", which adds automatic detection of dark mode in as many sites as possible, and in a new tab with an open image/video/sound. --- Detection of `#firefox-screenshots-preselection-iframe` element on the page. This element appears on the page when I use "Take Screenshot", Firefox's built-in page screenshot tool. Once detected, firelux2 should automatically temporarily disable on this page to prevent the screen from changing colors. Sometimes I forget to turn off firelux2 before taking a screenshot, and then I have to take it again... This should be an option, because maybe someone wants the colors on the screenshot to be changed? --- Is there a chance for this?
