Changing Visited links color


Recommended Posts

Don't know about anyone else, but I find it difficult to see the color difference between the unvisited and visited link color in firefox. Blue and Purple isn't much of a difference, especially on pages like wikipedia.

So I go into the settings and change it to say, green, which is so much easier on my eyes. The only thing is, the setting removes the background and layout from the page...

You can see this by going to wikipedia, then changing your link colors, but then you have to disable "Allow pages to use their own colors..." or it wont take effect. Disabling the "Allow pages..." option makes the web pages lose their styles etc...

So, does anyone know how to simply change link colors, without messing up the pages?

Cheers

I believe the setting you want is browser_visited color which you can change via about:config using your address bar. Just find out the hex color for something you like (a plain grey is A0A0A0).

Add this to userContent.css:

a:visited {
  color: green !important;
}

browser.visited_color

This preference controls the color for visited HTML links when the page does not define a color.

The UI setting for visited links and that preference in about:config are the same.
