### Dark Mode Not Used For File Picker
It is possible and a known problem on [Linux-based systems](/wiki/linux.md) that Firefox may not
recognize the system dark mode correctly.
This can result in a light themed file picker despite all other programs on the system like
[GTK](/wiki/linux/gtk.md) or [Qt](/wiki/linux/qt.md) using the dark mode already.
To fix this simply navigate to `about:config` and - if not already existing - create the value for
`ui.systemUsesDarkTheme` and set it to `1`.
This should immediately and without rebooting switch the file picker to use dark mode.

### Incorrect Configuration: `The libqt6ct.so plugin is compiled against incompatible Qt version`
When updating the system it is possible that the theme will not work correctly anymore.
Often the error `The libqt6ct.so plugin is compiled against incompatible Qt version` is responsible
for this.
To fix it most of the time it is enough to recompile the `qt6ct` package.
Afterwards a reboot might be needed for the theme to be displayed correctly again.
