+<p>All of my desktop environments use the Arc-Dark theme. It's not too dark and it
+also feels way easier on my eyes than most of the light themes out there.
+Firefox does a good job of using my system theme to colour its UI except for the
+New Tab page which remains blindingly white.</p>
+
+<p>Here is how you can change the background of the New Tab page:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Navigate to your Firefox profile directory:
+<ol>
+<li>Go to <code>about:support</code> using the address bar</li>
+<li>Click <code>Open Directory</code> next to the item in the table labelled "Profile
+Directory"</li>
+</ol></li>
+<li>Create the directory <code>chrome</code> in your Firefox profile directory if it doesn't
+exist.</li>
+<li>In the <code>chrome</code> directory, create the <code>userContent.css</code> file and populate it
+with the following:</li>
+</ol>
+
+<pre><code>@-moz-document url("about:newtab") {
+ body {
+ background-color: <colour> !important;
+ }
+}
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Replace <code><colour></code> with your desired colour. I configure my Firefox with
+<code>#383c4a</code> because it's one of the colours that Arc-Dark features heavily so it
+meshes well with my system theme.</p>
+
+<p>You may also want to set this for <code>"about:blank"</code> if you use a blank page as the
+first page that opens when firefox launches.</p>]]></description>
