How to add alternate color schemes to web pages in Firefox [Tip]

Not all website pages might have the best color schemes. To customize the color schemes of website pages, add Color Transform to Firefox. With that add-on we can apply multiple colors schemes to website pages, and edit their contrast, hue and saturation.

This is the Color Transform add-on page. There click on the + Add to Firefox and Install Now buttons to add it to the browser. Then you’ll find a Color Transform button on the browser toolbar as below.

You can save new color schemes as defaults. Click the Save the applied color transformation as default option at the top left of the panel to save. Then when you open new pages in the browser they will have the customized color scheme.

So if the text of a website page isn’t entirely clear this add-on may come in handy. Then you can alter the color scheme to adjust the text/background colors on a page.
