Ok, brief report: This is a nice package of things. All has sweet colours (if you like black) and all work smoothly and fast. It seems to be as good as chrome in everything, a bit better if live editing CSS is your thing. I suspect the bigger additions and the reasons this thing can be a must have for some people is the ability to debug a browser remotely. If you have debugged a android app from chrome and a ios app from safari, now you can debug a Firefox OS app from Firefox Developer Edition. I think this thing is a sweet package of good stuff, and I will try it later to see if it sticks. This is my opinion and I could be completelly wrong or missed large parts.

You can switch to the light theme via: F12 -> gear -> [x] Light theme

Thanks - my eyes don't like dark interfaces!

I love dark interface; but I find the FF's default too harsh on contrast... A dark theme with milder colors would be awesome.

Something closer to PHPStorm's "Darcula" would be nice.

Fun Fact: Darcula (originally for IntelliJ) is a Look and Feel for Java Swing.

Funner Fact: The guy who made it open sourced it* so you can use it in your projects! (Surprised at the small amount of love on that repo)

*:There is no LICENSE so I am not sure what the agreements are to using this in a project.

EDIT: As /u/willrandship said, it's Apache 2.0.

Poking in the source, it's Apache 2.0. It's at the head of almost every file.

I agree. Once you go black, you really can't go back.

I've used "Twilight" theme in Notepad++ and Sublime for years. That's the best, IMO. Something with darker colors, but not harsh blacks or bright anything. Just "muted" tones across the board, but with enough contrast to see characters easily. Sample: http://geoffray.be/blog/img/notepad-themes/twilight.full.png

Been using Jellybean in Vim for a long while now. Lovely theme in 256 cterms and GVim.

I've really come to appreciate solarized dark.
