Why can't you recode your email and web pages in text colors that are legible? There's no reason for the reader-hostile faint grey on white background design!

maximum readability is achieved by maximum contrast between font color and the background ... your site and email message designers have implemented a faint grey text color that is inexcusably hard to read, especially for Senior eyes! it costs you NOTHING to code a darker text color (preferably HTML #000000) for this very valuable content -- please advise, and thanks

All I can say is I agree. I have asked someone from the admin group to address your concerns with you. How long that might take I have no idea, it being a weekend and all.

I myself complained about a policy in a project called Australis where we deliberately made Tabs more difficult to see as a Design Improvement. I sometimes think we sould try a lot harder than we do.

Admins getting back to you could take several days ordinarily, but may be a couple of weeks at present as most are on involved with an important meeting or preparing for it.

You could yourself try to make contact with those in the accessibility Group (/groups/accessibility) and draw their attention to this thread (permalink)

I have tagged this as escalate, that should draw helpdesk's attention to the thread, (Helpdesk's guigs2 is a member of accessibility group)

This was an issue when the site was redesigned in 2012, and it was considered fixed. We'll pass along your message. If you have any others, there's a contributors forum you can post to at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors

In the meantime, you can use the fonts and colors settings in Firefox.

  1. Click the menu button New Fx Menu and choose Options.
  2. Select the Content panel.
  3. Under Fonts & Colors, click the Colors button.
  4. In the window that opens set the box under "Override the colors specified by the page with my selections above" to Always
  5. Click OK to close the Colors window.

Mote that you lose background images if you make this change to the color settings, so that is not recommended.

Instead you can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.

It is also possible to adjust the text and link colors with code in userContent.css.

Add code to the userContent.css file.


@-moz-document domain(support.mozilla.org) {
body {color: #000 !important; font-family:monospace !impportant;}
div.container_12 .wiki-doc a {color:#26f!important;font-weight:bold}
}

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
  • Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
  • Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
  • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css.
    Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file
