User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:92.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/92.0
Steps to reproduce:
In 93, a new preference has appeared to toggle the preferred color scheme:
layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override
See: https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/rev/399441fe2466
It’s not modifiable from a WebExtension currently.
Expected results:
I would be nice for this preference to be exposed through the WebExtension API. Maybe through the browser.theme that currently only exists in Firefox:
See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/theme
I would be willing to take a look into it, given some input on whether this seems a good idea to power that be, and a pointer or 2 over where to do the changes.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'WebExtensions::Untriaged' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Bug 1529323 added another supported value, so the options are now dark, light, system and browser. Please document the API in browser-compat-data and MDN.
