+# themed-icons
+
+This example demonstrates how to use the prefers-color-scheme media query to adapt an SVG icon to dark and light themes.
+
+## What it does
+
+This extension includes:
+
+* a background script, `background.js`.
+* page (address bar) and browser (toolbar) action icons.
+
+The extension displays the [page action](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/pageAction) on any webpage, and the extension test page, which the extension opens when it starts, and the [browser action](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/browserAction) is pinned to the toolbar when the extension is installed.
+
+Clicking either icon opens the test extension page and switches to the next available theme.
+
+When the active theme is enabled, the page and browser action change color based on the dark or light background color used in the UI.
+
+For example:
+- When the built-in Firefox Alpenglow or dark themes are active, the icons are black with a white outline.
+- When the built-in Firefox light theme is active, the icons are red with a black outline. 
+
+## NOTE: Implicit CSS filter applied to pageAction SVG icons in dark themes in Firefox Desktop 151 and earlier
+
+In builds where the `about:config` preference `extensions.webextensions.pageActionIconDarkModeFilter.enabled` is set to `true` or not defined, a greyscale and brightness CSS filter is applied to page action icons for dark themes. This filter can reduce the contrast of icons that use multiple colors. (See [Bug 2001318](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/2001318).)
+
+This implicit CSS filter is turned off in Firefox Desktop Nightly in release 149 and later, and on the release channel
+as part of [Bug 2016509](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/20
