When using [Dark Reader](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/darkreader/) (DR) add-on with "Filter" or "Filter+" mode in Firefox (FF 67 as of writing), you may encounter this issue where only the lower half of an image is shown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To resolve it, add the following CSS rule to the DR's setting via **Dev tools**. Prepend before the site-specific rules.
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
@media not print {
|
|
img {
|
|
bottom: auto;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After adding the CSS, you should be able to see the whole image. But the fix is not perfect, the image sticks to the top rather than centred.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above CSS is to override the default CSS used by FF to display an image. The default CSS is located at `resource://content-accessible/TopLevelImageDocument.css`, accessible via Style Editor (Shift + F7, don't enable Caret Browsing when prompted). It's used to centre the image. Here is a snippet of "TopLevelImageDocument.css",
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
@media not print {
|
|
img {
|
|
text-align: center;
|
|
position: absolute;
|
|
margin: auto;
|
|
top: 0;
|
|
right: 0;
|
|
bottom: 0;
|
|
left: 0;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `bottom: 0;` rule is the source of the issue, though it's more of a compatibility issue between DR and FF.
|
|
|
|
I got the information from the issue report ([#1142](https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader/issues/1142)). It's unlikely that the fix will be in the default DR, so you need to re-apply the workaround every time DR is updated.
