For anyone else being annoyed that private windows now switch their chrome into dark mode by default, completely rendering black favicons (or the toggle icon of the TreeStyleTabs extension) invisible: You can set browser.theme.dark-private-windows to false.

I don't want dark mode, period. Who decided that privacy must equal to dark mode, and that there is no easy switch in settings to turn it off?

It's a visual cue to remember what context you are in. I always done that anyway. I have a Pink theme when surfing NSFW sites :)

Does the clue have to cover the entire browser chrome, though? Maybe the previous indicator was too small, but messing with font contrast of all UI elements? It seems too much to me.

Out of curiosity, how did you configure it?

I have a dedicated Firefox profile for NSFW stuff. You can add a Pink theme for that profile only. Here's one I use:
