How to enable system theme for Firefox? (feddit.de)

I'm a semi-recent NixOS user and one thing that bothers me since the beginning is that when I change the Gnome theme (between light and dark), Firefox doesn't adapt. The system theme in Firefox is enabled, but it always displays the light theme, no matter what theme is selected in Gnome.

Internet search, including searching through NixOS discourse, packages, options and Nixpkgs repo surfaced a solution.

Any ideas or tips how to achieve system theme integration for Firefox on NixOS?

I have this in my config and I use Hyprland:

{
  dconf.settings = {
    "org/gnome/desktop/interface" = {
      color-scheme = "prefer-dark";
    };
  };
}

Thank you for the comment, this is not what I'm looking for however. I want a) a dynamic system theme (I already can manually change it to "dark") which I use a Gnome extension for and b) that Firefox follows the system theme.
