Firefox 133 now seems to follow Gnome's accent color!
(lemmy.world)
Not sure if this is also true for KDE.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Uhmm.. It was always possible to make an "app" that works on all linuxes the same.
The Linux part was never a problem. The userspace is.
For the proper opensource apps, this can be fixed by the package maintainers (shout-out to the real heroes!).
For proprietary, compile-once run anywhere apps, that was always a problem. For more info, I recommend this great FOSDEM talk by Simon McVittie from Collabora.
There was always a need for a specific system dependency like for the file picker. There was no universal API that uses a system provided way to have a file picker. It had to be hacked together by adding dependencies to the app and everything that comes with this
