How can I make FF use custom visited/unvisited link colors but allow the website to choose the other text and background colors?

websites often choose colors that I have trouble distinguishing between but overriding the other colors can cause color defects on certain websites.

Add code like this to userContent.css in the chrome folder.
There can however still be problems with clickable elements that use background images. Remove that link from the history to restore that background image.

You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.


a:visited, a:visited * {
 color:#CC33CC!important;
 background-color:#F8F8F8;
}
