    Firefox for iOS

  • Users are complaining that the latest Firefox for iOS update has removed the "Dark mode" option from the menu:[1]

    > I suffer from Diabetic Retinopathy and hence photophobia. To me, this removal is an Accessability issue.

    A forum moderator who's in touch with the developers said days ago that this is an experiment affecting half of the userbase:[2]

    > The team is currently doing an experiment. Since March 15, 50% of users no longer see Night Mode switch from the hamburger menu. We're using this experiment to monitor and evaluate the impact of removing, so it'll be hugely valuable to hear your feedback around this feature. Thanks!

    However, Mozilla's iOS team manager doesn't know about this huge experiment and think it is a bug:[3]

    > Moving Focus into the Firefox repo so it can get more love and support. This happened last release and may be the culprit that broke dark mode. We're looking into this right now.
