How to Enable Dark and Light Themes in Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox, the latest version 61, offers two in-built themes now – a dark theme and a light theme. You can enable these themes to reduce the stress on your eyes when using your computer at late night or when there is not enough ambient light in the room. The dark theme switches the entire interface to black and only webpage are allowed to have their own color schemes. The light theme uses grey as the color for the Firefox interface. Here is how you can enable these new themes:
