Public bug reported:

Firefox tries to use Adwaita-dark as a last resort when the user's GTK
theme doesn't have dark mode support.

Unfortunately, due to the combination of two issues:

 * The GTK Breeze theme not having dark mode support 
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448877).
 * The Adwaita-dark theme not being installed by default on Kubuntu.

This causes a suboptimal experience when users use a dark Firefox theme
but use a light Breeze theme. See
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1759356 for an example of
this.

Fortunately addressing the second issue is hopefully straight-forward.
It'd be great if gnome-themes-extra was installed along with Firefox, so
that Firefox provides proper dark theme support for Kubuntu users.

Note that other GTK applications like gnome-terminal and gtk3-widget-
factory and such also assume that dark mode is available, so this might
fix issues for other GTK apps too.
