How to make the about:blank page black or any other color in Firefox?
Is there a built-in way in Firefox to blacken or to colour the about:blank
page?
Will I maybe save some energy by doing so?

Yes you can change the color. As explained here you should
Windows: go to
%appdata%/mozilla/firefox/profiles
and open the folder in there.
On Linux the equivalent is
~/.mozilla/firefox/RANDOM_TEXT.default/
On OSX it is
/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/RANDOM_TEXT.default
look for the
chrome
folder. In that folder, find userContent-example.css and rename it to userContent.css.
The folder and file may not be there yet with newer Firefox versions. If so, simply create them manually.
Add this line to the file
@-moz-document url-prefix(about:blank) {*{background-color:#000000;}}
As to whether it will save energy, probably not:
On LCD displays, color may confer no benefit at all. In response to my inquiry, Steve Ryan, program manager for Energy Star’s power-management program, asked consulting firm Cadmus Group to run a quick test by loading Blackle, Google and the Web site of the New York Times (which is, like Google, mostly white on-screen) on two monitors — one CRT, one LCD — and connecting a power meter to both. “We found that the color on screen mattered very little to the energy color consumption of the LCD monitor,” said David Korn, principal at Cadmus, which specializes in energy and environment, and does work for the government. The changes were so slight as to be within the margin of error for the power meter. Tweaking brightness and contrast and settings had a bigger effect. The bulkier CRT screen did see savings with Blackle of between 5% and 20%. Mr. Korn emphasized that this was a quick test, not a rigorous study.
Woohoo :D It worked! Thank you very much! On my Mac it was /Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/123xyz.default. I had to manually create the chrome folder and placed your CSS file in there, restart and it worked! Thanks!

The disadvantage of setting the background-colour is, that especially on websites with text entry fields the background of the text will also appear in that background-colour... In other words: websites where no CSS background colour is set, the background colour is the Firefox background-colour. Makes typing/reading quite uncomfortable. So I set it back to default by deleting the userContent.css

It works for Firefox 57 also, just chreate the chrome/userConent.css file if it doesn't exist.

Under about:config, change browser.display.background_color from #ffffff to whatever hex value you want.
Changing screen space to a dark color (preferably black) will ONLY make a power difference when using AMOLED screens, most commonly found on phones. So if you're using a regular LCD, TFT or, IPS display, you won't see any battery life improvements, but your browser will be swagged out
This worked best for me.

If you have Stylus extension installed, just create a new style with this exact code:
@-moz-document url-prefix(about:blank) {*{background-color:#000000;}}

I know this is an old question, but in Firefox 64, the chrome
folder doesn't exist anymore in the /Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/RANDOM_TEXT.default
location.
I did find a setting though under the about:config
key browser.display.background_color
, which you can set to any hex color code. This setting will probably save my eyes a couple dozen times a day.

Under about:config, change browser.display.background_color from #ffffff to whatever hex value you want.
Changing screen space to a dark color (preferably black) will ONLY make a power difference when using AMOLED screens, most commonly found on phones. So if you're using a regular LCD, TFT or, IPS display, you won't see any battery life improvements, but your browser will be swagged out
This worked best for me.

I added both about:newtab and about:blank to have all of my tab start with black background: @-moz-document url-prefix(about:newtab) {*{background-color:#000000;}} @-moz-document url-prefix(about:blank) {*{background-color:#000000;}}

That is if you wish for your new tab to be
about:newtab
. I set it to about:blank

I know this is an old question, but in Firefox 64, the chrome
folder doesn't exist anymore in the /Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/RANDOM_TEXT.default
location.
I did find a setting though under the about:config
key browser.display.background_color
, which you can set to any hex color code. This setting will probably save my eyes a couple dozen times a day.
