Adjust Screen Brightness - Firefox Add-on

It helps reduce eyestrain while reading online by allowing customization of brightness levels for both daytime and nighttime settings. Users can define start times for each period, with defaults set at 08:00 for daytime and 19:00 for nighttime. The extension can also be set to have no effect during the day by choosing a brightness level of 100%.

Does what it says on the tin -- now watching movies that are dark in my browser doesn't mean cranking my screen brightness up.
