It's also possible to toggle on or off a 'Compact mode' that makes font size smaller so that more can fit on the screen and to tinker with some keyboard shortcut settings. Selecting that will pull up a further menu in which Facebook's dark mode can be toggled on or off. Clicking this will open a drop-down menu in which there is a 'Display & accessibility' option.
