For some reason, all of my Firefox related things have switched to a dark mode. My DuckDuckGo page switched to dark, my tab groups have switched to dark, my links have switched to dark! This happened when I was using the Dracula Dark theme, and the Lush Bold Theme.

There is a reason - it follows your dark theme.

If you want to have different color scheme preference for FF UI and sites, you can change "layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override" in 'about:config' to:

   Dark (0), light (1), system (2) or browser (3)

For 94 default was 2, in version 95 it is 3. You can either fallback to 2 or just use 0/1 to change color preference for sites.
