Anything like that on Firefox?
If not, I'm not sure Firefox is currently the best option for any usecase - even on Linux.
If you really want to do this without extensions, you could try applying a global CSS filter using one of the CSS files in the profile folder (I don't remember which, but I think it's userStyles or globalStyle.css - should be easy to look up). The filter to apply is first an invert(1), then a hueRotate(180deg) on top of it.
It's not perfect, and it will have the opposite effect on pages that are already dark, but it's the best you can do without an extension.

Themes? I use the dark one
No browser support for dark mode= no dark mode for me.
I use FF daily and it uses darkmode in sites that respect my system settings, because I have my system set to darkmode.
I use a Mac. Darkmode is a native feature.
I know, but I don't want to rely on their goodwill.
I want the browser to provide a dark mode that work in all cases, therefore:
- if webpages advertise a support of dark mode, oblige them
- if they don't, invert colors and use any other tricks as required
On Linux, Edge is the safest and the simplest way to always have a dark mode everywhere.
Firefox Developer Edition is a first party version of the software from Mozilla. It runs slightly ahead of the standard Firefox version I think.
FWIW, Waterfox also uses dark browser chrome by default, although if you're worried about security risks in installing extensions, a third-party fork of Firefox may not sit well with you either.
Regardless, I've used both pieces of software and had very positive experiences.
If you insist, go download Dark Reader from GitHub, look at the code (it's not particularly complex) and install it into Firefox locally.
No, I'd rather use higher quality free software: as it's chromium based it's open source.
Nothing prevents debian from compiling a de-microsofted edgium, like they do with a de-googled chromium.
As for sideloading darkreader, that's a decent idea!
But I'm not sure I want a worse user experience (firefox firing its devs may not have been the brightest idea!) and be forced to sideload extensions for things that are already included in another free software browser.
Of course, it may display dark mode in sites that respect the system theme - it's the easy part.
I don't mean that, because I don't want darkmode to be restricted to the few websites that respect my system settings: I want my browser to be "always dark", regardless of how cooperative or well (or badly) done the website is.
Dark mode on Edge is forced on the website: if it doesn't support it, the colors are inverted - with no theme or CSS tweaking required.
That's not rocket science, but still far better than anything I've seen on Firefox
Try it: the invert is intelligent enough to work in most cases. I think it substracts the background, which is often white/whitish, so you get the normal image but on a black background.
Also, there's an option to not invert pictures if you prefer.
