For a couple of years I have been seeing websites with text so light that I've had to copy it into Word to read it. I spoke to the owner of one site, and they said they'd set it to dark indigo. If I look at the same websites in Chrome they are perfectly readable. I've tried changing contrast settings and appearance settings and nothing I've done makes any difference. I've attached images of this website https://lambethlibraryreadinggroups.wordpress.com/ in Firefox and in Chrome. You'll see the main text is affected - and also the white text on the left hand side.

Can you suggest anything that might cure the problem? It's getting so bad I may have to give up using Firefox.

The whole point of the container tab colors is to be NOTICEABLE and instantly recognizable so you can find what you're looking for EASILY and assign new tasks to the correct grouping. I'd ask whose dumb idea it was to remove the colors from the tabs, but everything is apparently slop coded now. The icons are also now stupid, too washed out to be helpful, and I want the WHOLE TAB to be the correct color, not that stupid tiny line across the top. Do the slop-jockeys actually use this software? Because it appears either they don't, or have no idea how people work in real life. These are useless.

A lot of the "submit" buttons are no longer highlighted, and other buttons too. The blue is no longer a nice rich deep blue. Hyper text is not a clear as it used to be. Sites that were visited previously aren't the same color. I just want to go back to the original classic Firefox look that I've for years. I'm having the same issue with my computer at home. Something happened during the last Firefox update

Hello. I have a question about Firefox settings. In the "Accessibility" section of the settings, there are "Automatic," "Off," and "Custom" options. Is it not possible to change the color of visited and unvisited links except for "Custom"? I was using the "Stylus" add-on, but recently (since around the time of the Firefox update), the link color change often doesn't work. (The color changes if I reload the page, though.) I would like to know if it's possible to change the color of visited and unvisited links even with the "Automatic" and "Off" options in Firefox's "Accessibility" settings. Is "Custom" the only option in "Accessibility" to change the color of visited and unvisited links?

I have a lot of bookmarks and am always adding new ones. Suddenly, a couple of weeks ago (Oct 2026), when I go to bookmark a new page, the star goes from clear to filled-in dull grey, not bright blue as it always used to. In the same way, when I go to a previously bookmarked page (and I've checked this on about 30-40 sites, so it's not a specific site), the little star is dull grey, not blue. I can't make any new blue stars and I can't turn any old ones blue again. They are all dull grey and I find them hard to distinguish. Was this part of the recent Firefox 'new look', and if so, can anyone help me get my blue stars back? I'm using desktop (not phone).
