Well, per my eye doctor's instructions, I do not use "dark mode".
Think of "dark mode" as a drug, it feels right so "how can it be wrong?", but then check how it's effected your vision a decade from now.
Those were my eye doctor's exact words. But like politics, it's probably one of those things that even eye doctors are split 50-50.

Do you have those "lines" (even if a different color) when *NOT* using "dark mode" ???

How does dark mode affect your vision? I've been with glasses for the better part of a decade, and since like iOS 13 (2019), i've used dark mode on the daily (except on this forum), and I don't see any vision problems.

I'm *NOT* claiming this to be "true for all". ASK YOUR OWN EYE DOCTOR.
I did read a sh#tTon when my eye doctor told me this, because I DID NOT BELIEVE HIM !!!
From "inconclusive" to outright BIASED to riding the fence with no real conclusion.
I went as far as getting a SECOND OPINION and that doctor TOLD ME THE SAME THING.

Again, ask your own eye doctor.
Do some research and be sure to read BOTH SIDES. "Been there, done that."
I did not believe my eye doctor. You may very well not believe yours either, lol.

My own theory is that there comes a point where the DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE, so it no longer matters anyway so just keep on "darking it".

Actually ... to better answer your question. Those small white lines are there in "light mode" but you can barely seen them unless you're really looking hard. I also normally don't use dark mode (only for testing purposes) since my XP machines are light; dark browsers stick out like a sore thumb.

I also wear glasses and dark mode doesn't seem to cause me any issues - my eyesight is not as good as it was when I was younger and my prescription has changed slightly over the year (will be 54 in 3 weeks). Speaking about glasses ... I can NOT stand when they shine the lenses and when I get my glasses ... I make damn sure to tell them to not shine them and I have to make the VERY clear to them I need them dull and flat ... and of course they roll they eyes at me but I don't care. My eyesight is important and screw their feeling towards me. I've been fucked over in the past with this issue and my night vision is still poor regardless of the glasses.

I will try to take a picture when I'm in a better frame of mind to do so. Right now, I've been dealing with mind blowing depression and anxiety ... which causes major headaches and leaves me unable to do anything at all. I watch my DVD's when this is happening.

Again, I will get around to it when I can. I'm just not doing very well at the moment. Sorry for that, guys.

Please accept my apology for any mistakes in this posting - I tried

Interesting!
I've seen "dull" lenses and I always just thought they were massively "scratched up", like they used sand paper or steel wool to clean them, lol.

I've tried this version and its giving me trouble and crashes sometimes for no logical reason; so I guess I"ll revert back to 74.1.2 for now.

Maybe give the new version a try:

Lol ... well, I didn't mean I want them scratched up either Its just when they "shine" the lenses the light just reflects to the point that I can see sheep-le behind me. I have 3 pair of glasses now (all the same prescription) two of them change color in the sunlight but then when you get indoors you can see for a few minutes. My vision is not all that great now. Do you wear frameless glasses?

Thank you, Duke, and I will give feedback when I can on this new version.

I just passed by looked and want to say why is not obvious that legacy firefox addons never would work.
You take addons form the mozilla site, if the latest version fails then try previous versions.
I confirm that the latest ublock 69 works.

Also still not fixed white line yes, I suppose this is minor bug, shall fix next versions eventually

Thank you, Theodor, and I still use your browser as my daily driver and I know you'll fix the while lines. Good to see you
