How do I change color on visited sites without causing websites to not view properly?
I go to Content/Colors, change color of visited sites, uncheck "allow pages to choose own colors instead of my selections above". The visited sites change colors, but the websites that I go to do not view properly. They do not have names or headings or shopping carts or search boxes and are very hard to maneuver through.

Hi Faraway,
From your description, it appears that the problem you are describing is related to the Firefox browser for laptop and desktop computers, and not with the Firefox OS mobile operating system. Is this correct?
We look forward to hearing back from you so that we can continue to investigate this issue.
Thanks,

Hello Ralph,
Yes, I think I am using the Firefox browser. I am on a Mac OS X 10.6.8. I use Google. I switched from Safari to Firefox because Safari's visited sites did not show in a different color either.
Thanks, Faraway
Firefox via "Tools → Options → Content / Fonts & Colors → Colors... → Link Colors → Unvisited Links"
or this add on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../?src=search
You can use code in userContent.css or use the Stylish extension to override the page colors.
I use code like this:
a:visited {color:#e08!important;background-color:#eee} a:visited * {color:#e08!important;outline:1px dotted red!important;outline-offset:-1px} a:visited img {background-color:transparent}
- Stylish: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
- http://userstyles.org/help/stylish_firefox
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
When I go to Content/Fonts and Colors/Visited Links, I change the color and it will work if I uncheck "Allow pages to choose own colors instead of my selections above." But if I do this, when I go to websites they do not come in properly. Example: the name of the website is not at the top or search boxes are not displayed or shopping carts cannot be accessed or headings are not visible. In other words a mess.
I tried the add-on 4.0.1 and changed the color of the visited links and it did not work.
I do not know how to do the codes.
Thanks, Faraway
