Did you try Settings/General/Lang. & Appearance/Fonts & Colours, Colours..., Link Colours?

Hi, thanks for the reply,

I have found Settings -> General -> Language & Appearance and I have unchecked "Always underline links" and changed the font size and colour but none of this has made a difference

I can't find Fonts & Colour -> Colours -> Link Colours

Thanks

You appear to be using TB 139, which lacks the Colours setting in TB 128 (see picture). But you should be able to set the colour of visited links with browser.visited_color or browser.visited_color.dark in Config. editor. For unvisited links, try reader.custom_colors.unvisited-links.

Oddly, the latest Firefox 139 retains the Colours menu.

Hi,

Thanks for the information.

Yes I'm seeing the options shown in your screenshot.

I have tried changing the colour using the following settings in the config editor but nothing has worked so far. browser.active_color browser.active_color.dark browser.anchor_color browser.anchor_color.dark browser.visited_color browser.visited_color.dark editor.link_color

I'm really struggling to understand why this is such an issue, I would have thought it was a fairly basic function.

I don't know why setting the preferences doesn't work, but there is another method using css:

a:visited {
color: red !important;
}

a:link {
color: green !important;
}

Help/Troubleshooting Info, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, create a new folder named chrome, create a new document in chrome with a text editor, name it userContent.css, Save as type: All files *.*, copy in the above code, change the colours as desired. Double-click toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Settings/General/Config. editor, restart TB.

See picture. This works in TB 128 and 139. Some html messages might contain styles that override the css.

Hi sfhowes,

That worked perfectly, thank you for your help.

This response is not helpful if one doesn't know CSS. Also, I know that it can be done through a simple TB function because I have actually seen it done before -- just don't remember the steps.

You do not need to know any css because the html css has already been posted - you just need to know how to copy and paste it. If you want a more detailed step by step process then ask, but it's a lot easier than maybe it first appears. You just need to be able to follow instructions, create folders and copy and paste text .

Recent changes may effect what you have access to alter via Settings. All sorts of alterations are expected to be forthcoming so watch out for discovering things have been moved, new things added and some old ones removed.

The 128* series: Settings > General > Language & Appearance section offered various choices which are no longer available in 141*

I'm using beta 142.0b2 and the 'Links' underline settings is: Settings > General Scroll down to 'Reading & Display' There is a checkbox for 'Always underline links' which you select to enable or uncheck to disable.

Settings > Appearance (new) Now offers 'Window Layout' with a load of new options.
