Summary
Analyze keywords

To edit the used colors go to Firefox Options ->Language&Appearance and hit the Colors... button. While there modify the background color to something dark and the Text color to something light. Might want to make unvisited link colors slightly lighter blue also.

Unfortunately Android doesn't expose these settings, but you can do the same thing via about:config. Edit the prefs "browser.display.background_color" for background and "browser.display.foreground_color" for text.

All this extension does is is add a button to toggle the preference that tells Firefox whether to always or never use these override colors.

User reviews
Just quick swap between always & never custom colors. No more enter into the menus. Thanks!. Please!, give us a keyboard shortcut, as Control+Q or Control+some other key in the left side of the keyboard currently without use along side with Control key. To have a field to set a custom keyboard shorcut would be perfect, but if it results is too many work, a quick predefined shortcut would be ok. Thanks one more time. By the way, not very easy to find your plugin among others in firefox extensions, Mozilla should let us find by features and not only by name. Looking for "never" "always" "custom colors" and so on is a no way to find this plugin.

It can do what I expect it to do, but sometimes it doesn't correctly re-invert the webpage colors back to what they previously were. This is probably a bug of some sort.
